3 years of building @Anam__AI, and @Caoimhe_anam and we haven’t killed each other yet :) Oct ‘23 we both quit our jobs to build the next interface for technology. The first few months were just the two of us trying to put together a deck, get a POC working, find our first customers and convince a few researchers and engineers to take a chance on us. By May ‘24 we had money in the bank and our first 3 hires. Since then: - #1 ranked real-time model, 3 releases in a row new models shipping every quarter - 60K+ users signed up to try, buy and build on Anam - XM+ monthly minutes in production over the last 4 weeks - 14x ARR in the last 13 months - a team of absolute superstars across GTM to research - backed by some of the best VCs around First pic is from hours of live testing our latest model in a dark room in the London office. Second is Caoimhe in my old apartment the night we got the very first POC working. V cool to look back on, but we’re just getting started

We just closed an employee tender offer which values @ElevenLabs at $22BN, up 2x from our Series D in February. The tender was led by Wellington and T. Rowe Price. A few words on how we got here ↓
