How We’re Building Flamingo https://flamingo-ai.podbean.com

A behind-the-scenes podcast about what it takes to build an AI-native software company. No fundraising advice, no startup platitudes – just the real systems, tools, and decisions behind a 15-person team building an operating system for IT services. Each episode digs into one internal system we built or adopted, why we made the choices we did, and what broke along the way. New episodes every week.

Not by hiring more people – by making every internal process as automated as possible.

In this intro episode, Flamingo CEO Michael Assraf walks through the operating philosophy behind the company: one unified codebase, one shared database, and five internal hubs that run marketing, product, revenue, people, and investor reporting with minimal human touch.

Michael covers why transactional efficiency is non-negotiable for PLG businesses with sub-$100K ACVs, how Flamingo's unified architecture works across its website, community platform, and product, and what the five hubs (Marketing, Product, Revenue, People, and Company) do to disconnect scalability from headcount.

This is the first episode of How We Are Building Flamingo – a weekly show for founders and operators who want to see inside another startup's operating system. Subscribe to follow along.
