- Rime raised a $24M Series A led by M13 to scale its AI voice models that help companies field enterprise calls, per TechCrunch's Ivan Mehta.
- Rime's voice models are trained on conversational data the startup records in its own studio, a sourcing approach that differentiates it from voice AI peers relying on publicly scraped audio.
Why it matters: The $24M round, led by M13, gives Rime fresh capital to compete in a crowded enterprise voice AI market where rivals are chasing the same sales, marketing, and customer support call-handling workloads. Rime's studio-recorded training data is its stated edge over competitors built on public datasets.
