Akhil Bhiwal — Co-Founder

I believe great products are built at the intersection of deep thinking, clear communication, and unwavering integrity. Across my journey — from product leadership to founding startups — one theme has remained constant: solving meaningful problems with simplicity and purpose. Today, at Phyllo, we are building the social screening eco-system with comprehensive social media background checks to help normalize the importance of humanity's digital footprint. We’re laying the pipes that businesses, governments and humans of internet need to streamline and build their online presence and use it to their advantage. Also, Phyllo's various APIs allow businesses to: - Access real-time social data from multiple platforms through a single unified layer - Power influencer marketing platforms with verified creator insights - Build fintech products tailored for creators (like income verification and credit scoring) - Conduct faster, smarter social media background checks - Create new use cases at the intersection of identity, reputation, and digital influence I focus on product, growth, and AI-driven innovation — exploring how emerging technology is reshaping digital marketing, finance, and employment models. At Phyllo, we’ve: - Assembled a world-class team of builders - Achieved strong early traction across industries like fintech, HRtech, and creator economy platforms - Built a platform that’s just starting to reveal its potential Beyond work, I’m endlessly curious about the convergence of AI, the creator economy, intellectual property, and new business models — and how they’re shaping the next generation of businesses. Outside of work, I enjoy traveling, meeting new people, and experiencing different places and cultures. Curious how companies are using Phyllo’s social screening APIs to speed up trust-building and risk detection? Let's talk!
