ElevenLabs is a voice and audio artificial intelligence company that builds text-to-speech AI, voice cloning, AI dubbing, generative sound effects, music synthesis, and conversational voice agent technology. Mati Staniszewski and Piotr Dabkowski, friends from Warsaw, founded the company in 2022.^[4] In February 2026, ElevenLabs announced a $500 million Series D led by Sequoia Capital at an $11 billion valuation, bringing disclosed funding to $781 million across five rounds.^[5][6] In May 2026, the company said it had exceeded $500 million in annual recurring revenue during the first four months of the year.^[1]

The company's product line includes Eleven v3, Multilingual v2 and low-latency Flash speech models, instant and professional voice cloning, a public Voice Library, an AI dubbing pipeline, and a conversational AI agent platform.^[7] ElevenLabs also operates a consumer Reader application and a publisher tool called Audio Native that turns blog posts and articles into narrated audio. The technology has also been used for harmful impersonation. In January 2024, an account used ElevenLabs software to create a robocall imitating United States President Joe Biden before the New Hampshire primary; ElevenLabs subsequently banned the account.^[8]

History

Founding and early development (2022 to 2023)

Mati Staniszewski and Piotr Dabkowski met at high school in Warsaw, Poland, and stayed in contact through university and their first jobs. Dabkowski studied at the University of Oxford and the University of Cambridge, conducted machine learning research, and later worked at Google.^[9][10] Staniszewski studied mathematics at Imperial College London and worked at Palantir Technologies.^[10] Both founders have described their motivation for starting the company as the experience of growing up with Polish voice-over and dubbing that did not preserve the original performances' emotional range.^[9][10]

Eleven Labs Ltd was incorporated in the United Kingdom in January 2022.^[61] ElevenLabs publicly launched its beta platform on January 23, 2023, alongside the announcement of a $2 million pre-seed round led by Credo Ventures.^[11] The release drew rapid attention for voice cloning, including misuse: within weeks, the Associated Press documented synthetic clips imitating public figures and reported that the company had begun restricting access and exploring additional safeguards.^[12]

First funding rounds and the Series A (June 2023)

ElevenLabs released Multilingual v1 on April 27, 2023, adding French, German, Hindi, Italian, Polish, Portuguese, and Spanish to its English speech model.^[68] In June, the company announced a $19 million Series A round co-led by Andreessen Horowitz, the former GitHub chief executive Nat Friedman, and the entrepreneur Daniel Gross. TechCrunch reported a post-money valuation of about $99 million.^[13] The same month, ElevenLabs announced a partnership with the Swedish audiobook subscription service Storytel to develop AI-narrated audiobooks and a listener-selectable VoiceSwitcher feature.^[14]

Series B and unicorn status (January 2024)

In January 2024, ElevenLabs raised an $80 million Series B round that was again led by Andreessen Horowitz, with Sequoia Capital, Nat Friedman, and Daniel Gross participating, valuing the company at $1.1 billion and making it one of the youngest European AI unicorns at the time.^[15][16] The company said the announcement introduced or previewed a Dubbing Studio workflow, a Voice Library marketplace, a mobile Reader app, and faster or more broadly multilingual models. TechCrunch described Dubbing Studio and the mobile app as products planned for the following weeks, and described the marketplace as an alpha release, so the announcement should not be read as proof that every feature was generally available that day.^[15][16]

Series C and expansion (January 2025)

ElevenLabs closed a $180 million Series C round on January 30, 2025, co-led by ICONIQ Growth and Andreessen Horowitz with participation from Sequoia Capital, NEA, World Innovation Lab, Valor Equity Partners, Endeavor Catalyst, and Lunate, plus strategic investments from Deutsche Telekom, LG Technology Ventures, HubSpot Ventures, NTT DOCOMO Ventures, and RingCentral Ventures.^[17] The round valued the company at $3.3 billion and brought total funding to $281 million. ElevenLabs said its annualized revenue had grown more than threefold over the previous year and that employees at more than 60 percent of Fortune 500 companies had used its platform or API; this was a company-reported adoption measure, not a count of corporate procurement contracts.^[17][18]

ElevenLabs said the Series C proceeds would support research into more controllable voice AI, product development, developer and enterprise tools, safety work, and international expansion.^[17] During 2025, it expanded its presence in London, New York, Warsaw, Bengaluru, Tokyo, and several other markets.^[19]

Series D and the path to public markets (February 2026)

On February 4, 2026, ElevenLabs announced a $500 million Series D financing led by Sequoia Capital, with Sequoia partner Andrew Reed joining the board and participation from Andreessen Horowitz, ICONIQ Growth, Lightspeed Venture Partners, Bond, Evantic Capital, and Nvidia. The round valued the company at $11 billion.^[20][21] ElevenLabs reported more than $330 million in annual recurring revenue at the announcement and said enterprise revenue had grown by more than 200 percent year over year.^[20] In May, the company disclosed a third close of the Series D, said it had ended 2025 at $350 million ARR and exceeded $500 million ARR in the first four months of 2026, and reported a team of 530 people across more than 50 countries.^[22] In interviews surrounding the round, Staniszewski said the company wanted to become commercially ready for a possible initial public offering within about five years, while declining to set a date.^[23]

How fast has ElevenLabs grown?

In January 2026, Staniszewski said ElevenLabs had taken 20 months to reach $100 million in ARR, another 10 months to reach $200 million, and five more months to pass $330 million.^[24] These figures, and the later $500 million milestone, are company-reported annualized subscription metrics rather than audited revenue statements.^[22][24]

Products

ElevenLabs exposes its audio models through a self-serve web product and developer APIs. Its documented capabilities span speech synthesis, voice cloning, dubbing, sound effects, music, conversational agents, and consumer reading applications.^[7][25]

Text-to-speech models

ElevenLabs' text-to-speech model family covers different tradeoffs among expressive range, language coverage, latency, and cost. Its API documentation exposes distinct model identifiers and recommends different models for long-form narration and real-time applications.^[25][26]

Scroll sideways for more →

Eleven Multilingual v2 is positioned for long-form narration, while Flash v2.5 trades some expressive range for lower latency in interactive applications. ElevenLabs' current model guide lists the earlier Turbo v2 and v2.5 identifiers as deprecated in favor of Flash.^[26] ElevenLabs introduced Eleven v3 in alpha in June 2025 and made it generally available on February 2, 2026. It supports more than 70 languages, multi-speaker dialogue, and bracketed inline directions for delivery such as whispering, laughter, excitement, and sighing.^[27]

Voice cloning

ElevenLabs provides two main voice cloning paths.

Instant Voice Cloning, generally referred to as IVC, creates a voice from a short reference recording without training a dedicated model. ElevenLabs recommends about one to two minutes of clear, consistent audio and describes the result as available near-instantly. The company notes that performance depends on the reference recording and may be less consistent for an unusual voice or accent.^[28]

Professional Voice Cloning, or PVC, fine-tunes a dedicated model from a larger recording set. ElevenLabs recommends between thirty and 180 minutes of high-quality audio and says fine-tuning usually takes several hours.^[28] To use PVC, a user must complete a Voice Captcha step in which they read specified, dynamically generated text within a time limit, designed to verify that the account holder owns the voice being cloned. ElevenLabs says failed or inconclusive attempts can be routed to manual review.^[29]

In addition to private voice clones, ElevenLabs operates a public Voice Library where creators can share verified Professional Voice Clones. Creators set usage terms and receive cash rewards when paid customers generate audio with a shared voice; ElevenLabs says free-user activity is excluded from payout calculations.^[30]

AI dubbing and Studio

Dubbing Studio is an editor for reviewing and changing transcripts, translations, timing, speaker assignments, and generated clips in a dub. It offers clip-level clones, track-level clones, and other voices from the Voice Library.^[31] By August 2026, ElevenLabs' documentation described Dubbing Studio as a legacy v1 workflow in maintenance mode, with only critical bug fixes planned. New dubs use Dubbing v2 by default, while existing Dubbing Studio customers retain access through the legacy v1 option.^[31] ElevenCreative Studio, formerly called Projects, is a separate production editor for long-form audio and video. Its current interface combines narration, video, captions, music, and sound effects on a timeline.^[74]

Conversational AI agent platform

In November 2024, ElevenLabs launched a Conversational AI platform for building AI voice agents that combine the company's speech technology with configurable large language models, including models from OpenAI, knowledge sources, and tools.^[32] In June 2025, the company released Conversational AI 2.0, which changed interruption handling, turn-taking, pacing, and related controls.^[33] By the time of the Series D announcement in February 2026, ElevenLabs said customers had created more than two million agents on the platform across customer support, scheduling, sales, training, and entertainment use cases, and it rebranded the enterprise offering as ElevenAgents.^[34]

ElevenLabs had previously released an MIT-licensed local Model Context Protocol server in April 2025. That implementation is a Python server designed to run on the user's machine and communicate with desktop MCP clients over standard input and output. It uses an ElevenLabs API key and forwards requests to the company's cloud APIs rather than running speech models locally. The repository exposes operations for speech generation, transcription, voice discovery and creation, sound effects, and conversational-agent workflows.^[63][64] The local package therefore places installation, updates, and credential management with the user, even though the underlying generation occurs on ElevenLabs infrastructure.

By August 2026, ElevenLabs also documented a separate hosted remote MCP server. The hosted service requires no local installation and authenticates through OAuth instead of asking the user to copy an API key into the MCP client. During authorization, the user selects an ElevenLabs workspace and reviews the requested scopes. ElevenLabs' documentation says the connection is published in the Claude Desktop connector directory, while the underlying endpoint can also be configured by compatible clients that support remote MCP connections.^[65] The local repository remained available, so the hosted service should not be described as the company's first MCP implementation. Nor does remote hosting mean that the client can reach every account resource: the OAuth grant is tied to the approved workspace and scopes. The user can revoke the connection from the MCP client or from ElevenLabs account settings.^[65]

According to ElevenLabs' product documentation, the hosted server can expose tools to list, create, duplicate, update, and delete agents; compare configurations; inspect recent conversations, transcripts, and topics; estimate expected LLM usage and cost before a change; retrieve widget and knowledge-base information; and generate speech as a short-lived download.^[65] The estimate describes expected language-model consumption for a proposed configuration, not a billing guarantee. OAuth scopes form one control layer, while client-side tool settings can disable operations or require confirmation. In Claude, the documented controls let administrators and users disable individual tools or require per-call confirmation, with an administrator's restriction taking precedence over a user's setting. The documentation specifically identifies agent deletion as destructive and recommends confirmation before it runs.^[65] These controls govern whether a tool may be invoked; they do not verify the factual correctness of an assistant's proposed configuration change.

This hosted service operates in the opposite direction from ElevenLabs' separate inbound MCP integration. The hosted server lets an external assistant manage resources in an ElevenLabs workspace, whereas the inbound feature lets an ElevenLabs conversational agent call tools on a third-party MCP server.^[66] ElevenLabs requires workspace-level enablement for inbound connections and documents Streamable HTTP and server-sent events as supported transports. Its documentation also says inbound MCP is not eligible for Zero Data Retention or coverage under a HIPAA Business Associate Agreement, and assigns customers responsibility for reviewing the security and data practices of third-party servers.^[66] These restrictions do not apply automatically to the hosted connector in the same way, because the two products have different data flows. The published capability and control lists are vendor documentation, not an independent evaluation of accuracy, cost savings, reliability, or security.

Sound effects and Eleven Music

In June 2024, ElevenLabs released a generative Sound Effects model that produces short audio clips from a text prompt for game, video, and podcast workflows.^[35] Eleven Music v1 followed in 2025. In May 2026, the company released Music v2 with section-by-section composition, inpainting, audio-reference controls, multilingual output, and more complex vocal delivery. ElevenLabs says the model was trained on licensed data and cleared for commercial use under its product terms; these are company representations rather than an independent rights audit.^[36]

Reader app and Audio Native

The consumer ElevenLabs Reader application launched on iOS in June 2024 and reached Android in July 2024.^[37][67] It lets users listen to articles, PDFs, EPUB files, and other text with a selection of ElevenLabs voices. At the Android launch, availability was limited to the United States, United Kingdom, and Canada, with wider distribution and 32-language support described as forthcoming; the cited announcements do not establish that the app remained free indefinitely.^[37][67] Audio Native is a separate publisher product that lets website owners embed an AI-narrated player into their pages on platforms including WordPress, Webflow, and Squarespace, generating audio versions of new posts automatically.^[38]

Voice Isolator and Voice Changer

Voice Isolator removes background noise from an uploaded or newly recorded audio file and returns a downloadable file with the speech isolated. ElevenLabs documents a maximum upload of 500 megabytes or one hour and offers the function through both its web product and API.^[39] Voice Changer, originally branded Speech-to-Speech, re-renders a source recording in another voice while preserving the source performance's tone and delivery. ElevenLabs presents it as a way to transfer cadence and emotion or correct pronunciation without relying only on a text prompt.^[40]

Use cases

Audiobooks and publishing

Publishing was an early commercial market for ElevenLabs. Its June 2023 Storytel partnership covered AI-produced audiobook narration and a planned VoiceSwitcher feature through which listeners could choose among multiple voices for selected titles.^[41] ElevenLabs markets text-to-speech, voice cloning, dubbing, Studio, Reader, and Audio Native to publishers, and lists publishing partnerships and deployments including Storytel, TIME, HarperCollins, and The Washington Post. These customer and product examples come from ElevenLabs' own publishing materials and do not establish adoption across the publishing industry as a whole.^[42]

Video games and interactive entertainment

ElevenLabs markets its speech models to game studios for character dialogue, localization, prototyping, and dynamic in-game speech, and names Paradox Interactive among its gaming customers.^[43] Eleven v3 also accepts bracketed inline directions for nonverbal events and delivery, including laughter and whispering. The capability was introduced by the company for media workflows; the cited launch material does not independently measure production adoption or performance in games.^[44]

Accessibility and voice banking

In August 2024, ElevenLabs launched an accessibility program that gives free Professional Voice Cloning licenses to people who have lost or are losing their voices to medical conditions, beginning with people living with motor neuron disease and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). The program later expanded to people affected by progressive supranuclear palsy, multiple sclerosis, stroke, oral and throat cancer, laryngectomy, Tay-Sachs disease, and other conditions that can take away a person's natural voice.^[45] The company partnered with the United States nonprofit Bridging Voice to provide eligible people with ALS a free Pro voice-clone license so they can bank a voice for use with assistive devices.^[46] ElevenLabs later broadened this work through its Impact Program and a company-reported initiative to provide in-kind access to nonprofit, education, cultural, and accessibility projects. By 2026, the company said the program had worked with more than 1,100 organizations; this figure is not an independent outcome evaluation.^[47]

Enterprise voice agents and contact centers

The Conversational AI platform is used by enterprises to build voice and chat agents for customer support, scheduling, lead qualification, and internal training. In its February 2026 Series D announcement, ElevenLabs named customers including Deutsche Telekom, Square, the Ukrainian government, Revolut, Meta, Epic Games, Salesforce, MasterClass, Harvey, Duolingo, Nvidia, and TIME.^[48] A December 2025 Forbes profile estimated that corporate customers accounted for around half of the company's trailing revenue.^[49]

Safety, controversies, and policy response

What happened with the Biden New Hampshire robocall?

In the days before the January 23, 2024 Democratic primary in New Hampshire, thousands of voters received automated calls using an AI-generated voice resembling United States President Joe Biden and urging them not to vote in the primary.^[50] Pindrop reported a 99 percent likelihood that the audio had been generated with components from ElevenLabs or a similar system and said ElevenLabs' own classifier returned an 84 percent probability; those figures were forensic assessments, not absolute proof.^[51] The Federal Communications Commission later found that political consultant Steve Kramer had commissioned the message and that another person used ElevenLabs software to create it. The FCC imposed a $6 million forfeiture on Kramer and separately held that AI-generated voices fall within the Telephone Consumer Protection Act's restrictions on artificial or prerecorded voice calls.^[52]

Voice cloning safeguards

ElevenLabs uses identity and voice-verification controls for Professional Voice Cloning and maintains a list of restricted "No-Go Voices" that includes some political and other high-risk public figures.^[53][54] It also provides an AI Audio Classifier intended to estimate whether audio was generated by ElevenLabs and has described work with the Coalition for Content Provenance and Authenticity (C2PA). These controls reduce some forms of misuse but do not establish that generated audio is always detectable or that every unauthorized clone is blocked.^[54] In 2024, ElevenLabs announced a partnership with deepfake-detection vendor Reality Defender for enterprise audio detection.^[55]

Ongoing policy debate

The Biden incident prompted regulatory enforcement and civil litigation. The League of Women Voters and other plaintiffs sued Kramer and the organizations involved in the calls, arguing that the campaign violated federal and state voter-protection and telecommunications laws.^[56] ElevenLabs' use policy prohibits fraud, voter suppression, harmful impersonation, and specified unauthorized uses of another person's voice. The policy is a contractual rule for the service, not a guarantee that misuse cannot occur.^[57]

Competition

ElevenLabs operates in overlapping speech-synthesis, voice-agent, dubbing, sound-generation, and music markets. Murf's own comparison page illustrates overlap in text-to-speech, cloning, and business-content workflows, but it is marketing material rather than an independent ranking.^[58] PlayHT also exposes text-to-speech and voice-cloning APIs.^[78] OpenAI offers real-time speech-to-speech and audio APIs, while Google Cloud provides a text-to-speech API.^[75][76] LiveKit Agents is a real-time agent framework that can connect speech and language-model providers.^[77] Music Business Worldwide has described Eleven Music as a Suno rival.^[59] These sources show product overlap, not market share. Independent estimates and company disclosures indicate a substantial standalone audio-AI business, although annual recurring revenue is not directly comparable with audited revenue.^[60]

Corporate structure

ElevenLabs operates from hubs including London, New York, Warsaw, Bengaluru, and Tokyo while employing people across multiple countries. The active UK company Eleven Labs Ltd, company number 13826669, was incorporated on January 4, 2022.^[61] United States fundraising filings also identify Eleven Labs Inc as an issuer.^[62] In May 2026, the company reported 530 employees across more than 50 countries and identified Mati Staniszewski as chief executive officer and Piotr Dabkowski as chief technology officer.^[1][22]
