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.
