Flox is an innovative Series B startup redefining developer tools for engineering teams. Backed by top VCs in the US and already trusted by Fortune 100 companies, we’re not just simplifying complex workflows, we’re setting a new standard for how software is built and shipped. A lot of what we do is made possible by Nix, one of the largest open source projects in the world today.

Our platform introduces a fresh set of principles that work seamlessly alongside the beloved tools developers use every day, creating a generational shift in software delivery. At Flox, technical excellence, collaboration, and iterative improvement are at the core of everything we do.
