Phonic Raises $4M to Revolutionize Voice AI Technology

Phonic, a groundbreaking voice artificial intelligence (AI) platform founded by MIT alumni Moin Nadeem and Nikhil Murthy, has secured $4 million in seed funding from Lux Capital. This investment will fuel the company’s mission to create reliable synthetic voices that power audiobook narrations, podcasts, and customer support interactions without a hitch. Phonic tackles the reliability challenge head-on by training their models on diverse audio, including accented and muffled speech. Unlike competitors who rely on piecing together separate AI solutions, Phonic builds an integrated voice technology stack for seamless, robust performance.
