Investment Spotlight: Verbaly, Cohort 5
Founder University is excited to announce our investment in Verbaly.
Verbaly is an AI speech coach designed to help you speak confidently.
We first met the co-founders, Bill and Raj during Cohort 5. They had just come up with the idea to start Verbaly on Week 1 of the program.
We were impressed by the team’s ability to prioritize talking to potential customers even before they built an MVP.

In week 10 of the program, we invested $25k based on their progress from launching their v1 product and growing organically from 0-600 users.

How It Works:
- Record yourself practicing a speech directly in Verbaly or upload an mp3 from a meeting or conversation.
- Verbaly analyzes your communication. You can ask questions like “How was I perceived in this speech?”
- Then it tracks your filler words, pacing, word choice, and tone.
- Verbaly measures your improvement over time in each category.
