Built by engineers who watched critical knowledge walk out the door

Arhan Singhal spent years building infrastructure teams at enterprise software companies. In that time, he watched three different senior engineers leave and each time the same thing happened: weeks of scrambled knowledge capture, blockers in production, and months of tribal knowledge loss that documentation alone could not fix.

The problem was not that teams did not try to document things. They did. The problem was that they did not know what they needed to document until something broke. By then it was too late.

Priya Nair, who had been building large-scale graph data systems, joined as co-founder to solve the technical core: how do you build a live, updating graph of who knows what, derived from the communication and work patterns teams leave behind in their everyday tools?

Together they co-founded Brekfuz in 2024 with a straightforward thesis: make the invisible knowledge structure of a team visible before anyone leaves, before any project stalls, before any onboarding takes months longer than it should.
