Octopus Ventures led the Series A round to support machine learning research and language expansion.
"People retain up to 70% more information when watching videos dubbed in their native language. With truly emotive cross-lingual AI dubbing, we can tackle all forms of content, making video and audio more accessible and enjoyable for everyone. This funding will allow us to double down on our promising research and break into new content categories."
The investment round was led by Guardian Media Group Ventures and All Turtles to help scale the company's services.
"As we’re seeing from the Ukrainian crisis, unfortunately, we live in a world where mass displacement of talented people from war, famine and even climate change is increasingly commonplace."
The pre-seed round was led by Guardian Media Group Ventures with backing from All Turtles.
