How Flossy Reached $4M ARR With AI Dental Receptionists

How Flossy Reached $4M ARR With AI Dental Receptionists

Author: Nathan Latka April 29, 2026 Duration: 17:40

How do you survive shutting down during the pandemic, pivot a heavily funded business model, and rebuild a team of 8 into a $4M ARR AI powerhouse?

Miles Beckett is the CEO of Flossy, a verticalized AI receptionist that automates patient booking and engagement for dental practices.

After successfully building and exiting two previous startups for tens of millions, Miles raised a $15M Series A for a dental discount plan. When the market shifted, he pivoted the company entirely to voice AI, made hard cuts to the team, and found explosive product-market fit. Today, Flossy is growing 60 to 70 percent month over month.

You'll learn:

  • Why vertical AI agents beat general tools like Intercom 
  • How to sell $500/month software to PE-backed roll-ups 
  • The reality of firing 30 people to save a company's burn rate 
  • How a $1 million breakup fee saved a past acquisition deal 
  • Why they rejected a theoretical $40 million buyout 
  • The math behind adding $100,000 in new ARR each month 
  • How they used a $3M seed round to survive 2020 lockdowns 
  • The mechanics of multi-location enterprise SaaS deals

Miles is a seasoned operator who previously built and sold Equal to Everyday Health for $30M, and Silver Sheet to AMN Healthcare, before diving into the dental tech space.
