VGC Partners led the seed round with capital from its Technology Seed Fund IV.
VozLab provides a self-serve development platform that allows brands to build and manage voice applications. The company operates from bases in the UK and Uruguay.
VozLab has secured £150k in seed funding from growth capital investor VGC Partners. The capital marks the first deployment from VGC Partners and its Technology Seed Fund IV, which launched in June 2020. The fresh funds will be directed towards driving client acquisition across fast-moving consumer goods sectors and creative agencies, alongside further platform development and marketing investments.
The company has developed a proprietary self-serve voice experience platform designed to help brands design, launch and manage voice apps in real time. This backing follows VozLab becoming the first start-up to join the Amazon UK Alexa Incubator Programme, securing mentorship from the Amazon Alexa team.
