## About

Based in California, United States and founded in 2022, Rime, fka not identified, provides conversational speech models for enterprise voice AI. The company was founded by Lily Clifford, Brooke Larson, and Ares Geovanos. In July 2026, Rime Labs, Inc. raised USD 24 million in series A funding led by new investor M13 with participation from returning investors Twilio Ventures, Corazon Capital, Cadenza Ventures, Unusual Ventures, and other investors also participated in the round.
The company works with healthcare, financial services, telecommunications, food-service, airline, and customer-experience organizations to provide enterprise voice AI solutions. Its team develops conversational speech models, speech-to-speech AI technologies, proprietary conversational datasets, multilingual voice-generation systems, pronunciation-control tools, custom voice-cloning capabilities, streaming voice APIs, and enterprise voice platforms, including the Coda and Mist v3 models, for cloud, VPC, and on-premises deployments.
Rime generates revenue through a transactional model primarily focused on B2B partnerships, providing their AI voice solutions to enterprises. Clients engage with Rime's offerings through subscription-based plans tailored to their specific needs. Revenue is driven by the number of concurrent conversations processed and the level of customization required by each client. Rime's flagship product, Mist v2, is central to this revenue model, facilitating high-impact applications that require advanced voice technology and designed to support high-volume usage for scalable operations.
The company plans to use the July 2026 funding to expand its conversational dataset, hire engineering and research staff, and scale infrastructure.
