We launched in January 2023 and have since reached over 1 million users and partnered with the world’s largest publishers (The New Yorker The Washington Post The Atlantic) media companies (Super Hi-Fi D-ID Futuri) and gaming studios (Paradox Cloud Imperium Games Don’t Nod). We are backed by the leading names in tech and AI (Nat Fridman Daniel Gross Andreessen Horowitz Instagram co-founder Mike Krieger Oculus VR co-founder Brendan Iribe Deepmind & Inflection co-founder Mustafa Suleyman and many others).

We have a unique mix of in-house cutting-edge machine learning research (led by our co-founder Piotr who was previously a researcher at Google) and strong product-led traction (led by our co-founder Mati who was at Palantir before and after the IPO).

We have recently concluded our successful Series-B funding round and are hiring to double down on our initial traction to make ElevenLabs a truly generational product company and research lab.

Join us in shaping the future of voice technology.
