START pod: Kashyab Ambarani & Rishi Mahadevan, Co-Founders, Verbiflow “The system that runs your outbound”

By

Startups spend more time wiring their outbound tools together than actually talking to potential customers

Verbiflow was built to change that

It's Outbound Infrastructure for growth teams

Outbound used to be a stack

One tool for email.

Another for LinkedIn.

Something else for cold calls.

Verbiflow is the system that runs your outbound, all in one place

Run sequences through email, LinkedIn, and cold calls

Handles sending

Manages replies

Runs follow-ups

Keeps it all in sync

Because the real bottleneck isn't finding leads

It's getting in front of the right people before momentum disappears

And in a world flooded with AI-generated outreach, they're betting on: better conversations, not more messages

From prospect to pipeline

From outreach to conversation

From disconnected tools to one outbound system
