“With this funding round we make a giant leap towards global implementation of our technology with mobile and PC OEMs.” said Joris Castermans, Founder and CEO at Whispp, “The current developments at Whispp exceed my boldest dreams I had for this stage of the company — stay tuned, because more good news is on the way.”

“We initially invested in Whispp because of its mission to help people reclaim their voice. Since then, it has become clear that the technology can address a much broader challenge: revolutionizing the quality and accessibility of digital communication. As AI continues to reshape how people interact with technology, solutions that make communication more, effective, seamless and inclusive are becoming increasingly important,” said Andy Lurling, Founding Partner at LUMO Labs. “Whispp is uniquely positioned at the intersection of these developments, and we look forward to continuing our support for the team as they scale their impact and bring this technology to a much broader audience,” he added.

Founded in 2020 by Joris Castermans and Akash Raj Komarlu, Whispp develops real-time AI technology that helps people speak more clearly on mobile devices and computers. Its Voice Reconstruction AI creates natural-sounding voice experiences and can be easily added to devices people use every day.

The technology can turn whispered speech into the user's own clear and natural voice. This allows people to make private phone calls by simply whispering, making communication more comfortable and discreet.

The new funding will help the company grow its business. It will be used to develop new patents, improve its AI technology, and launch new products.
