What's holding startups back today.

PBX vendors quote you $30-$80 per seat per month

Plus setup fees, plus hardware, plus a 24-month contract you'll outgrow in 6.

Onboarding takes weeks, not minutes

Porting numbers, shipping handsets, IT setup calls. Meanwhile your new AE is on their personal cell.

Remote-first teams are stuck on Zoom Phone or Slack Huddles

Both were built for video. Voice quality is patchy and there's no real PSTN line for outbound.

Every one of these problems has the same root cause: a phone system that wasn't designed for startups. Vybe was.
What you get

Built for the way startups actually works.

Per-seat numbers in seconds

New hire? Add a number, assign it, done. No porting wait, no IT ticket, no handset shipment.

E2E encrypted internal chat

Olm/Megolm protocol (same as Signal). For SOC 2 prep + investor due diligence — show real encryption.

Call analytics

Daily call volume, peak hours, missed rate, avg duration. Export CSV for board reporting.

Team management

Add / remove team members in seconds. Per-member voicemail, per-member call history, per-member forwarding rules.

Webhooks + API (coming Q1)

Pipe call events into your Slack, your CRM, your internal Looker dashboards.

Compliance-ready

GDPR + CCPA + SOC 2 Type II in flight. Consent tracking, data export, 30-day deletion all built in.

In the wild

A day in the life, with Vybe.

01
Week 1 of YC

Two cofounders, one shared inbox.

You both share one Vybe number for inbound demo requests. Calls ring on both phones; the first to answer takes it. Voicemails land in a shared transcript inbox. No more “wait, did you reply to that VC?”

02
First sales hire

Onboarding from 0 to dialing in 90 seconds.

Send them the team invite, they download Vybe, accept the assigned number, and they're making calls before lunch. No porting, no IT, no handset, no help desk.

03
Series A fundraising

Investor due diligence asks about your data security.

Hand them the privacy doc: end-to-end encrypted chat, GDPR-ready, SOC 2 in flight. Most competitors at our stage can't say that.

We tried RingCentral first. The setup call took longer than our seed round close. Switched to Vybe in an afternoon — same features at a fifth the price, and the team actually uses it.
