Long story short
Built from a problem we knew all too well.
OneThirtyFive was founded by Kevin DeFranco after more than a decade working in B2B SaaS and high-growth companies.
While leading sales for an on-demand healthcare staffing platform, Kevin experienced firsthand how difficult it was to scale outbound efforts with the right people, process, and consistency. Existing outsourced sales options often felt expensive, impersonal, and disconnected from the realities of startup growth.
So he built a better alternative.
OneThirtyFive was created to give growing companies access to focused, high-quality sales development without the cost and complexity of building an entire team from scratch.

our story
What started as a solution to a familiar sales problem has grown into a team built around one idea: outbound works better when the people doing it are trained, supported, and genuinely invested in the outcome.
From our headquarters in Downtown Cleveland, our full-time Business Development Representatives partner with startups and growing companies across industries to create conversations, build pipeline, and open doors.
We do more than fill seats. We build teams, sharpen processes, and create an environment where ambitious people can develop real sales careers while helping our clients grow.
We saw the gaps.
We built the solution.
our mission
At OneThirtyFive, our mission is to help startups build stronger, more predictable sales pipelines through focused, high-quality outbound prospecting.
We combine specialized phone lead generation with a relentless work ethic, continuous improvement, and a performance-driven mindset to create meaningful top-of-funnel growth.
Build better sales teams.
Create better opportunities.
What we believe
01
People come first. Invest in people, and everything else follows.
02
Raise the standard. Excellence isn't optional - it's our baseline.
03
Stronger together. We win with humility, collaboration, and a team-first mindset.
our future
Growing people.
Growing impact.
We are building OneThirtyFive for the long term. We’re just getting started.
That means continuing to grow our team, expanding the opportunities we create, and becoming an even stronger partner to the companies that trust us with their growth.
As we scale, we want to stay grounded in what made OneThirtyFive work from the beginning: talented people, high expectations, strong relationships, and a willingness to keep getting better.
The goal is not simply to become bigger.
It is to become better, more useful, and more impactful for the people who work here and the companies we serve.
