Voice is the most natural way for us to interact with technology. Our Co-Founder Mati Staniszewski joined Tom Mackenzie on Bloomberg Television to talk about our Series C and 2025 plans to bring voice to every AI agent - from customer support and healthcare to new immersive experiences. In 2025, we want people and businesses to meet AI on their terms, with agents that listen, understand, and respond just as humans do. We’re doubling down on building the leading AI research hub for audio, and a platform that lets you deploy agents with low latency, scalability, and control, while expanding internationally to get local nuance right.

We are thrilled to introduce Will Byington as the new CEO of triValence! With his deep expertise in healthcare operations and supply chain management, Will joins us at an exciting time of rapid growth.
