Revoize, a Warsaw-headquartered startup specialising in noise reduction and speech enhancement technology, has raised €458K in a pre-seed round. The funding was led by VC fund AIP Seed, with participation from co-investor Marcin Żukowski, co-founder of Snowflake and Vectorwise, board member of Endeavor Poland, and angel investor in numerous Polish startups.
How will it use the investment?
The raised capital will accelerate the development of Revoize’s advanced algorithms, aiming to enhance real-time conversation quality for millions worldwide. The company’s ultimate goal is to establish itself as the voice communication quality improvement technology leader.
What does Revoize do?
Founded by Stanisław Andrzej Raczyński, an engineer and researcher with extensive expertise in machine learning, speech AI, signal processing, and robotics, Revoize leverages Generative AI to elevate speech quality in audio recordings. Raczyński brings over 18 years of R&D experience and 21 years of industry-focused technology development, including stints at Intel and BabbleLabs.
The company’s web-based application transforms poor-quality recordings into professional, studio-quality audio processed at 44.1 kHz. This technology enables podcast and interview recording even in noisy environments and can handle various distortions, including internet-based audio transmissions.
Revoize aims to eliminate communication barriers and enhance real-time conversation comfort, potentially making remote interactions more efficient and enjoyable than face-to-face meetings. The startup sees enormous growth potential in the vast market of remote communicators, noting that generative speech technology algorithms are still in their early stages.
