ari polakof@APolakof · Oct 6Today, I'm thrilled to announce Flai's $27M Series A, led by Base10, bringing our total funding to $33M
This round also brings in some of the biggest names in automotive. With Toyota Ventures, Friedkin, and Findlay Automotive Group on board, we're now backed by the people who build, distribute, service, and sell cars.
A year ago, we announced our seed round with one product: an AI that answers the phone for car dealerships. Today, Flai is the first AI-native CRM for automotive, built for both the sales floor and the service drive.
Over the last year, @useflai has grown more than 20x, and we now work with over 20% of the top 50 dealer groups.
Dealerships still run on software from another era. One of the industry's biggest vendors started before the car was even invented. Dealer teams are buried in disconnected tools, and their customers feel every gap.
Flai changes that. On average, Flai generates ~$100K in additional monthly revenue for each dealership we work with.
With this funding, we'll invest aggressively in product and engineering to build the system modern dealerships run on.
I'm incredibly proud of our team and deeply grateful to our dealer partners for their trust in what we're building.
The round was led by @Base10Partners, with participation from:
@firstround
@Toyota_Ventures
@friedkingroup
@ycombinator
Findlay Automotive Group
We're growing extremely fast and hiring across every team: engineering, product, marketing, sales, and customer success. If you want to help rebuild how cars are sold and serviced, check out our careers page or reach out to me directly!
