Rime | Completes $24 Million Series A Funding
Voice AI startup Rime has announced the completion of a $24 million Series A funding round. The round was led by M13 Ventures
with participation from Twilio Ventures,
Corazon Capital, Unusual Ventures, and other existing investors. Previously, Rime completed a $5.5 million seed round in May 2025.
Headquartered in San Francisco, Rime aims to build a differentiated advantage in this highly competitive market through its proprietary voice models. The company was founded in 2022 by former Stanford PhD student Lily Clifford, former Amazon Alexa engineer Brooke Larson, and Stanford engineer Ares Geovanos.
As enterprise demand for AI phone automation continues to grow, competition among voice models, infrastructure, and application-layer companies is accelerating.
Rime seeks to become a key player in the next stage of enterprise voice AI infrastructure by accumulating data closer to real-world enterprise scenarios and delivering higher-performance voice models. #
