Rime raises $24M Series A for enterprise voice AI

Rime, a San Francisco voice AI startup founded in 2022, raised $24 million in a Series A led by M13 Ventures with participation from Twilio Ventures, Corazon Capital, Unusual Ventures and existing investors; Morgan Blumberg of M13 will join the board. The company records conversational audio in its own SF studio, uses a phoneme-based architecture and is shifting from STT/TTS/LLM pipelines toward speech-to-speech models to reduce latency and orchestration. Rime appointed Rafael Valle — previously head of audio research at Meta’s Super Intelligence Lab — as Chief Science Officer and plans to invest the round in its proprietary dataset, infrastructure, and hires across engineering, research and partnerships. It reports enterprise customers including Mayo Clinic, Dialpad, Upstart and Asurion, powers nearly 100 million monthly calls, and cites an independent Miravoice study showing improved call metrics.
