Voice AI startup Modulate announced on September 28 that it raised $25 million in new funding, led by Future Ventures with returning investors Hyperplane and Lakestar participating, bringing total funding to $60 million. The announcement did not disclose a valuation.
Modulate's models work on the raw audio of a conversation, reading emotion, tone, intent and signs of a deepfake voice. They are used for game voice moderation, screening callers impersonating hospital staff, and checking how voice AI agents perform. The company says its platform now handles more than 10 million hours of audio a month.
The new money goes toward SDKs and APIs for developers and models built for specific industries. The round is a company announcement as reported by SiliconANGLE; the figures and stated use of funds are the company's own.
