VoiceRun Raises $5.5 Million to Build a Voice Agent Foundry

VoiceRun, building a secure, reliable voice infrastructure for enterprises, led by Derek Caneja and Nicholas Leonard, has secured $5.5 million in funding. 

In the near future, AI-powered voice agents will be able to communicate anytime, anywhere, and in any language, with billions expected to run on VoiceRun. Advances in real-time voice understanding and generation from companies like ElevenLabs, Deepgram, and Fish Audio, combined with intelligence from models by OpenAI, Gemini, Anthropic, and Alibaba, are accelerating this shift.

Soon, voice agents will power business lines, customer service portals, video game characters, audiobooks, and everyday apps, integrated into phones, VR, and computers. Within a few years, hundreds of billions, or even trillions, of voice agents will operate globally, creating a more convenient, inclusive, and engaging digital world.

Building high-quality voice agents remains slow and labor-intensive, relying on fragmented no-code tools, manual evaluation, and human-heavy processes. People are the bottleneck.

VoiceRun addresses this by acting as a foundry, a scalable voice agent factory where developers and coding agents orchestrate top models and continuously improve agents through voice-specific evaluation, simulations, and testing frameworks, with or without developer oversight.

Previously, access was limited to enterprises, which retained ownership of their agents, business logic, model choices, and all associated data, while benefiting from compliance and enterprise-grade uptime. To scale to billions of voice agents, VoiceRun now aims to support independent developers and startups as well.
