London-based AI voice generator ElevenLabs has completed a $300 million employee tender offer, doubling its valuation to $22 billion—just seven months after reaching an $11 billion valuation in its February Series D round.
Key Financial Metrics & Investor Syndicate:
$22 Billion Valuation: Valuation doubled from $11 billion in February 2026 (where it raised $500 million in Series D) to $22 billion.
$300 Million Tender Offer: Led by asset managers Wellington and T. Rowe Price, with participation from existing backers (Andreessen Horowitz, Lightspeed) and new institutional investors (EQT, Goldman Sachs).
Employee Liquidity: The secondary tender allows early employees and shareholders to cash out without diluting or raising primary capital.
Explosive Usage & Enterprise Adoption:
Agent Volume Surge: Voice agents now handle over 15 million weekly conversations—a 3x increase since February—automating customer refunds, insurance renewals, and appointment bookings.
Global Language Support: Proprietary models speak, listen, and translate across 90+ languages, reaching over 5.5 billion people globally.
Enterprise & Government Deployment: Rapid enterprise rollout comes as Big Tech rivals (such as Meta with its Muse AI agent) aggressively expand in the autonomous AI voice agent market.
