ABOUT ELEVENLABS

ElevenLabs is an AI research and product company transforming how we interact with technology.

We launched in January 2023 with the first human-like AI voice model. Today, we serve millions of users and thousands of businesses - from fast-growing startups to large enterprises like Deutsche Telekom and Meta. Our investors are some of the world's most prominent, including Andreessen Horowitz, ICONIQ Growth and Sequoia. We've raised $781M in funding and our last valuation was $11B - multiples of 11, always.

We have expanded from voice into three main platforms:

 - ElevenAgents enables businesses to deliver seamless and intelligent customer experiences, with the integrations, testing, monitoring, and reliability necessary to deploy voice and chat agents at scale.

 - ElevenCreative empowers creators and marketers to generate and edit speech, music, image, and video across 70+ languages.

 - ElevenAPI gives developers access to our leading AI audio foundational models.

Everything we do is the result of the creativity and commitment of our team - builders doing the best work of their lives. We are researchers, engineers, and operators. IOI medalists and ex-founders. If you want to work hard and create lasting positive impact, we want to hear from you.




HOW WE WORK

 - High-velocity: Rapid experimentation, lean autonomous teams, and minimal bureaucracy.

 - Impact not job titles: We don’t have job titles. Instead, it’s about the impact you have. No task is above or beneath you.

 - AI first: We use AI to move faster with higher-quality results. We do this across the whole company—from engineering to growth to operations.

 - Excellence everywhere: Everything we do should match the quality of our AI models.

 - Global team: We prioritize your talent, not your location.
