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

Author: Fondo June 18, 2026 Duration: 11:30

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

Behind every startup's big idea is the less glamorous, but utterly essential, work of building a real business. The Startup Growth Podcast, from the team at Fondo, digs into that reality. Fondo itself is an all-in-one accounting platform designed for startups, handling everything from closing the books to filing taxes and even helping secure cash back from the IRS. This practical experience informs every conversation. You’ll hear founders and operators talk not just about vision, but about the tangible systems, financial decisions, and marketing pivots that actually fuel growth. Episodes move beyond theory to explore the operational choices that separate promising companies from sustainable ones. It’s a resource for entrepreneurs who understand that strategy is meaningless without execution, and that a healthy bottom line is the truest measure of progress. Tune in for honest discussions that bridge the gap between entrepreneurial ambition and the business fundamentals required to make it last.
