ElevenLabs turns text into production-grade speech — an $11B voice AI firm with dubbing, agents, and a developer API.
ElevenLabs sells voice synthesis: text-to-speech, voice cloning, multilingual dubbing, and conversational-agent audio, delivered through consumer apps and a developer API that powers other companies' products. It raised $500 million led by Sequoia at an $11 billion valuation — more than tripling in a year — and was soon in talks for a tender offer near $22 billion, with revenue estimated around $500 million annualized. The API is the structural fact: a large share of AI products speak with its voices.
