ElevenLabs is one of the top startups in audio AI ✨ . To mark the start of 🏖 summer, Bizzline.ai did a round-up of the company's latest updates including: + A partnership with TIME Magazine + Automated voice generation of Anthony Joshua for Under Armour + An AI-generated continuous radio station + A collaboration with multimodal AI bot company Infer (YC S21) We call this ElevenLabs' big Summer Surge, which comes right after the company had a pretty active spring filled with product updates, partnerships, and other announcements. As we note in the post, ElevenLabs has just completed a big Series B round with Andreessen Horowitz & Sequoia Capital at a $1.1 billion valuation (with a nice nod to the company's name in the valuation number). The trajectory is clear: ElevenLabs is creative, versatile and motivated to build great audio AI tech. The question, however, is whether the company will build a pipeline for new customers and deals to keep its #SummerSurge rolling into fall. Check out the post below. Leave a comment.

I had a fantastic time at the Knowledge Spike event from Raleigh-Durham Startup Week yesterday! A big shoutout to my friend and former Reverb teammate Steve Klein from Vistaly for doing an excellent job hosting the event. While I couldn’t catch all the talks, the ones I did attend were packed with insights—especially from Andy Schrader and Chelsea Bullock. My key takeaways from Andy’s talk: - Celebrate more - Don’t ship just to ship—ship to grow outcomes (focus on the numbers). - AI tools can save PMs time so they can focus on outcomes (he shared a great list of these tools) My key takeaways from Chelsea's talk: - PMs at small orgs take on broader responsibilities vs. PMS at big companies (this resonated strongly with me) - You can chart your career path with a weighted, color coded, organized spreadsheet (loved this) - Future PMs in the AI era will excel by being ‘commercial’—focusing on the P&L, not just features.
