Iceland-based Treble raises $18 million for its voice simulation platform

Voice AI has emerged as one of the hottest sectors, with investors pouring billions into automated customer support, sales calls, and smart glasses. Meanwhile, Iceland-based startup Treble is positioning itself to be at the center of the industry by creating a simulation platform catering to model makers, robotics companies, and consumer hardware makers. Founded in 2020 by acoustic engineers Finnur Pind and Jesper Pedersen, the company has raised $18 million in an extension of its Series A funding led by Paladin Capital Group. This brings its total raise to date to over $40 million, with major customers including Amazon and Logitech. Treble features verticals related to simulation and data, offering a synthetic data generation platform for speech enhancement, noise suppression, and model training. The startup also evaluates voice AI models across different conditions and previously partnered with Hugging Face to launch a benchmark for speech recognition models.
