Company profile
researched Aug 2026Flamingo is a Miami-based software startup founded by cybersecurity and MSP industry veteran Michael Assraf, who serves as CEO. The company officially launched its OpenFrame platform in 2025. OpenFrame is described as an AI-driven, open-source operating system for managed service providers (MSPs) that unifies the MSP tooling stack behind a single data model and API, with core integrations including Tactical RMM, FleetDM and MeshCentral.
The platform is aimed at the structural economics of managed services, where vendor fees can consume up to 35% of revenue and labour costs a further 25-35%, leaving margins of roughly 8-12%. Flamingo's approach combines enterprise-quality free and open-source software, to reduce vendor costs, with autonomous AI agents that handle repetitive work. Two agents are deployed: Fae, which addresses customer-facing issues such as password resets and disk alerts, and Mingo, which handles backend operations including threat detection and routine maintenance. Technicians retain oversight over sensitive actions.
Founding story
Founder Michael Assraf, who has experience in both the MSP and cybersecurity sectors, observed MSPs quietly replacing commercial tools with enterprise-quality open-source software to reclaim margin, and started Flamingo to make that transition safe, practical and automated for mainstream providers.
Business model
Flamingo offers OpenFrame in two paths: a free self-hosted open-source deployment that gives MSPs full control of their infrastructure, and a managed SaaS version. The company positions both options as avoiding vendor lock-in.
The managed (SaaS) version of OpenFrame is priced per device; the self-hosted open-source version is free.
Traction
The company reports more than 1,000 MSPs on its waitlist, described as roughly 3% of the global managed services market, and over 150 early adopters testing the platform via its Slack community.
Latest developments
On 28 October 2025 Flamingo announced the close of a $2.2 million pre-seed round led by Focal VC and Array VC, to be used to accelerate platform and AI development and expand its sales, support and engineering teams.
▸Full profile — market position, technology, go-to-market, geography
Market position
Flamingo targets an MSP industry characterised in coverage as worth $380 billion. It is positioned against proprietary vendors such as ConnectWise, Datto and Pulseway, differentiating by combining autonomous AI automation with open-source flexibility rather than relying solely on costly proprietary software or on open-source tooling that requires complex expertise to deploy.
The combination of an open-source, self-hostable stack (cutting vendor fees) with autonomous AI agents (reducing repetitive technician labour), delivered with both self-hosted and managed options so customers are not locked into a single vendor.
Technology
