    ElevenLabs' Mati Staniszewski: How Voice Becomes the Interface for AI

    Mati Staniszewski, Andrew Reed, Alfred Fuller, Gabriel Sanchez, Konstantin

    Established in 2022 by high-school friends Gabriel Sanchez and Piotr to address monotone localization in Poland, Eleven Labs has rapidly scaled to generate over $400 million in revenue with a flat, title-less organization of 400 remote employees. The company distinguishes itself by prioritizing immediate monetization and emotional nuance in audio synthesis, evolving its technology from text-to-speech to complex voice agents deployed by governments, enterprises, and educational platforms. With a roadmap focused on emotional intelligence and the integration of audio as the primary interface for robotics, the firm maintains defensibility through proprietary data and a vast ecosystem of user-contributed voices.

    Common Ground Among Global Entrepreneurs

    Joanna Rees, Armjad, Esteban Sosnick, Diego, Fedra Kousos, Jonathan Teo, Alfred Fuller, Adam Black, Javier Martinez

    Endeavor, a global non-profit established fifteen years ago, connects high-impact entrepreneurs in emerging markets with capital and talent, exemplified by portfolio companies like Jordan's Pharmacy One and Chile's Atacama Labs that collectively generated $5.5 billion in revenue and 200,000 jobs last year. To address systemic barriers such as regulatory hurdles and capital scarcity, the organization launched Endeavor Catalyst, an impact investment fund modeled on top-quartile venture performance, while encouraging founders to adapt business models for local cultures and build domestic training infrastructure. As U.S. early-stage capital recedes, the organization predicts the next wave of global innovation will emerge from these regions, with its new fund aiming to recycle returns to accelerate further entrepreneurial ecosystem growth across expanding markets like Spain and Poland.
