# Shubham Khoker > Growth @Rifa AI | Making AI work like your most reliable teammate | Previously @ Topmate | 30u30 IQ Location: San Francisco Bay Area, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/shubhamkhoker AI isn’t replacing people. It’s replacing processes that slow them down. At Rifa AI, we’re building intelligent agents that automate back-office conversations across chat, voice, email, and support without breaking ops. The goal isn’t to sound human. The goal is to get work done, with AI that can reason, act, and complete entire workflows across tools. Our best users don’t even realize they’re talking to a bot. That’s the point. Before this, I led growth at Topmate and picked up a few hard truths: → Shiny doesn’t scale → Funnels lie → Speed breaks things, but it also builds them Rifa is a tougher game. The stakes are higher. You’re shipping into systems where mistakes cost trust, not just clicks. That’s why I care about: → AI that’s functional, not performative → Growth that’s compound, not chaotic → Shipping like it’s a reflex, not an event If you’re building at the intersection of AI, ops, and velocity, let’s chat. ## Work Experience ### Chief Growth Officer @ Rifa AI Jan 2024 – Present ### Build Accelerator Founder @ Foundation Capital Jan 2025 – Present | San Francisco Bay Area Chief Builder at Rifa AI.
