Felux is a Cleveland-based software company building the operating system for the steel industry. Its AI-powered platform reads request-for-quote (RFQ) emails straight out of a sales team's inbox, structures them automatically, and turns fragmented steel sales workflows into a unified dashboard for demand analytics, pricing intelligence, and deal tracking. Paired with a B2B marketplace connecting buyers and suppliers, Felux helps steel service centers, mills, brokers, and manufacturers see the demand they have been missing and modernize a trade that still largely runs on phone calls and spreadsheets.
