GenFlux, a platform helping brands track and optimize how they appear in AI-generated answers, announced a $4.2 million seed funding round led by Symbolic Capital, with participation from Borderless Capital, Frachtis, Glasswing Ventures, Dispersion Capital, Delphi Ventures, and Radical Ventures.

More than 40% of Gen Z now use ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini as their primary search tools. In a world where AI engines recommend products directly — with no page two — most brands have zero visibility into whether they’re being mentioned, how they’re being described, or what they can do about it.

“In the age of AI search, there are no blue links — your brand either gets recommended or it doesn’t,” said a partner at Symbolic Capital. “GenFlux is building the essential infrastructure for brands to win in this new landscape.”
