ElevenLabs

Profile Overview

ElevenLabs is an artificial intelligence voice technology company founded in 2022 by Piotr Dabkowski, a former Google machine learning engineer, and Mati Staniszewski, a former Palantir deployment strategist. The company was inspired by the poor quality of voice dubbing in films they watched growing up in Poland. ElevenLabs developed industry-leading speech synthesis and voice cloning software that generates incredibly realistic, emotionally expressive, and context-aware human voices. Its platform allows users to instantly clone voices from short audio samples, adjust vocal emotion, and generate natural-sounding text-to-speech in dozens of languages. The company also offers advanced voice dubbing tools that translate video audio while preserving the original speaker's unique vocal characteristics. ElevenLabs caters to a wide range of industries, including audiobook publishing, video game development, content creation, and accessibility services. In January 2024, ElevenLabs raised $80 million in a Series B funding round co-led by Andreessen Horowitz, Nat Friedman, and Daniel Gross, pushing its valuation to $1.1 billion and achieving unicorn status. With total funding of $101 million, ElevenLabs is the leading player in generative audio, continuing to expand its research into sound effects, music generation, and real-time voice translation.
