ElevenLabs lists BlackRock, Jamie Foxx and Longoria as new investors

ElevenLabs, a voice AI platform, has secured $500 million in Series D funding from major institutional investors (BlackRock, Wellington, NVIDIA, Salesforce, Deutsche Telekom) and achieved $500 million+ in annual recurring revenue, signaling that AI-powered voice technology is becoming a critical enterprise infrastructure layer. This rapid growth and institutional backing suggest that voice AI will become foundational to customer interaction strategies across industries, requiring IT organizations to evaluate voice technology integration into their customer experience and automation roadmaps. With enterprise adoption accelerating (Deutsche Telekom, Revolut, Klarna) and valuations doubling in six months, organizations risk competitive disadvantage if they don't begin piloting voice AI solutions for customer service, accessibility, and multilingual operations.
