About ElevenLabs
ElevenLabs is an AI research and product company transforming how we interact with technology.

We've raised $781M in funding and our last valuation was $22B - multiples of 11, always.

ElevenCreative empowers creators and marketers to generate and edit speech, music, image, and video across 70+ languages.
ElevenAPI gives developers access to our leading AI audio foundational models.
