How do you pivot a banned college ridesharing app into a voice AI company handling 300 million customer service calls?

Brian Schiff is the co-founder and CEO of Flip, a verticalized AI voice assistant that automates customer service calls for transportation, retail, and healthcare brands.

After realizing their Cornell ridesharing app was a dead end, Brian and his co-founder Sam pivoted into voice AI. Today, Flip automates up to 90 percent of routine support calls for over 250 enterprise companies and recently raised a $20M Series A at a $100M valuation.

You'll learn:

• How to successfully pivot a failing startup model
• Why verticalized AI beats horizontal platforms
• How to implement usage-based pricing at $1.50 per call
• Why "listen mode" is their best sales tactic
• How to maintain 75 percent gross margins with AI
• Why they rejected a theoretical $150 million acquisition offer
• How to select the right industries for expansion
• Why competitive B2C markets are best for AI tools

Brian started his entrepreneurial journey at Cornell's eLab accelerator. He navigated the near-total collapse of transportation revenue during the pandemic to build a highly efficient business growing 3X year over year.
