About
Vihaar Nandigala is the 23-year-old co-founder of OrangeSlice.ai, a YC Summer 2025 company that has raised $5 million to let anyone build complex go-to-market workflows through natural language. He explains why OrangeSlice positions itself as an anti-AI-SDR company, how an office-hours chat on Paul Graham's patio turned into their first angel check, and why the team ran as a GTM agency dogfooding its own tool before launching publicly.

Best quotes
I'm building the most complex go-to-market workflows just through natural language.
The first big lessons and kind of things I wish I knew earlier was just how important the sales function is to startups.
Once you set up the systems and if you just have the AI agent try to figure it itself out, it always kind of recurses to the mean.
We positioned ourselves as more of like an anti-AI SDR company.
