IP & Data Transaction Counsel

About ElevenLabs

ElevenLabs is a growth-stage startup that has built the most advanced AI voice models and AI voice products (text to speech, audiobooks creation, dubbing, and the voice library).

We launched in January 2023 and have since reached over 1 million users and partnered with the world’s largest publishers (The New Yorker, The Washington Post, The Atlantic), media companies (Super Hi-Fi, D-ID, Futuri), and gaming studios (Paradox, Cloud Imperium Games, Don’t Nod). We are backed by the leading names in tech and AI (Nat Fridman, Daniel Gross, Andreessen Horowitz, Instagram co-founder Mike Krieger, Oculus VR co-founder Brendan Iribe, Deepmind & Inflection co-founder Mustafa Suleyman, and many others).

We have a unique mix of in-house cutting-edge machine learning research (led by our co-founder Piotr, who was previously a researcher at Google) and strong product-led traction (led by our co-founder Mati, who was at Palantir before and after the IPO). 

We have recently concluded our successful Series-B funding round and are hiring to double down on our initial traction to make ElevenLabs a truly generational product company and research lab.

Join us in shaping the future of voice technology.
