Head Of Marketing | Flamingo
Hi all! My name is Vlad and I’ve been brought on to head the marketing team at Flamingo. Thankfully, this isn’t the first time I will be building a marketing department from scratch, so the experience should come in handy. Now it’s time to dive into the world of MSPs and find myself in this new world.

Founder and CEO | Flamingo
Hey everyone, I'm Michael - founder and CEO of Flamingo. Before this, I built Vicarius, a cybersecurity company focused on vulnerability remediation, where I raised over $60M in funding. Working closely with service providers through that journey, I saw firsthand how MSPs were losing money to vendor payouts and inefficient systems - and that's when the idea for Flamingo clicked. I set out to build an open-source platform that dramatically increases MSP margins while helping them deliver better service to their clients.

Frequently Asked Questions

MSP AI Agents

Yes. In production MSP shops today, 10% to 25% of tickets close before a human opens them. Thread alone has processed 173 million tickets across 750-plus MSP partners at 96% triage accuracy, handing back 490,000-plus technician hours. Agents own the low-risk, high-volume work (password resets, MFA enrollment, known installs, onboarding and offboarding) and flag anything that touches production data or needs judgment for a human to take.
On a five-person desk, reported deployments show $78,000 to $130,000 in annual direct labor savings, roughly 30% fewer escalations, and 15% to 20% better SLA compliance. Broader MSP adoption data adds ticket handling time cut by 45% and five to 12 points of margin, all from reclaimed capacity rather than headcount cuts.
