Company profile
researched Aug 2026Flip (flipcx.com) develops Voice AI that answers and resolves customer service phone calls for three vertical markets: retail eCommerce, healthcare providers, and transportation operators. Rather than positioning as a general-purpose, all-channel AI platform, the company focuses on the phone channel for a narrow set of industries, shipping preconfigured call flows, training data and integrations for the intents common to each vertical so brands do not have to code, build flows or design agents themselves.
In retail eCommerce the product handles order status ("WISMO"), returns and exchanges, subscriptions, product and store information, and phone ordering. The healthcare offering targets providers, urgent care centers, dental offices, physical therapy clinics and veterinarians, covering labs, prescriptions, follow-ups, insurance checks, bill collection and outbound aftercare programs in addition to appointment booking. The transportation offering serves fleets, call centers and medical transport (NEMT) coordinators with ride scheduling, account booking, ride modifications and late callouts, with the company stating automation of up to 90% of calls. Flip advertises more than 80 native integrations with systems customers already run.
Deployment follows a staged model: a "Listen Mode" period in which forwarded calls are analyzed to identify which intents to automate first, followed by activation of initial intents and then expansion to higher-volume intents and deeper integrations. For transportation prospects the company offers a seven-day free trial. The company describes hundreds of customers and millions of calls handled weekly, and cites named case studies including Tommy John, GNC, Royal Cars, Community Care Partners and Midwest Express Clinic.
Founding story
Co-founders Brian Schiff and Sam Krut met at Cornell and initially built a ride-hailing app; from that experience they identified the pain of customer service calls as a larger problem and pivoted the product to a voice assistant for customer service in 2017.
Business model
B2B software sold to brands that operate high-volume support phone lines, delivered as a managed Voice AI service that customers connect by forwarding their existing phone traffic and integrating their back-end systems.
The company advertises zero cost up front with performance-based pricing.
Traction
The company reports hundreds of customers and millions of automated calls per week, about 20 million calls per month for roughly 250 global brands, and a cumulative 300 million automated calls. Customer results cited include ~70% of call volume automated at Royal Cars with missed calls reduced to zero, 35% of inbound calls fully automated at GNC (up from about 20%) across 6,000+ retail locations, 37% automation and a 100% call response rate at a mattress brand, a 66% reduction in missed calls at Community Care Partners, and more than 38,000 outbound aftercare calls in the first 45 days at Midwest Express Clinic reaching over 18,000 patients.
Latest developments
In January 2026 Flip announced a $20 million Series A alongside a 300 million automated call milestone, with coverage from Crunchbase and AlleyWatch. In March 2026 the company announced the hiring of an executive team.

Market position
Investors and the company describe Flip as operating at industrial scale in vertical customer-service voice automation, citing roughly 20 million calls a month for about 250 global brands and a cumulative milestone of 300 million automated calls.
Flip positions against horizontal "AI for everything" platforms by concentrating on a single channel (voice) in a few verticals, shipping out-of-the-box intent coverage and integrations instead of requiring customers to build bots or workflows; leadership argues that bespoke enterprise voice builds are impractical given the number of integrations and edge cases involved in routine tasks such as cancelling an order.
Technology
Voice AI for inbound and outbound calls that avoids legacy IVR menus, button presses and hold queues, arriving preloaded with vertical-specific intents, flows, training and more than 80 native integrations. Engineering stack listed on recruiting profiles includes AWS, Google Cloud, Python, Snowflake, GitHub, GitLab and New Relic.
Go-to-market
Direct enterprise sales supported by published customer case studies and a customer reference list, with low-friction entry points including a listen-only evaluation period, a seven-day free trial for fleet customers, and a staged rollout that the company says can launch in days without coding or flow building.
Retail eCommerce brands with call-heavy peak seasons; healthcare providers including urgent care, dental, physical therapy and veterinary practices; and transportation operators such as fleets, call centers and non-emergency medical transport coordinators.
Geography
Headquartered in New York, New York, with a second office in Marina del Rey, California; job postings are based in New York and Los Angeles. The company describes global eCommerce expansion and brands served internationally.
History
After a 2017 pivot to a voice assistant for customer service, the founders graduated and opened a New York City headquarters in 2018 as initial traction developed. A $2M pre-seed round followed in 2019, global expansion into eCommerce in 2021, and a $6.5M seed round in 2022 alongside a rebrand to Flip. In 2023 the company passed 1.5 million calls per week; in 2024 it ran a Times Square billboard featuring customers; in 2025 it launched a healthcare vertical; and in January 2026 it announced a $20 million Series A, followed by the hiring of an executive team announced in March 2026.
