Berlin-based AI startup voize has raised $9M in a Seed funding round led by HV Capital, with participation from existing investors Y Combinator, redalpine, and HPI Ventures.
The company has developed a proprietary AI for speech recognition that aims to simplify and accelerate digital documentation processes, particularly in healthcare, by allowing professionals to dictate their notes rather than spending time on repetitive paperwork. Voize’s AI-powered speech recognition technology enables caregivers to dictate their notes into a smartphone. The AI then processes the speech, structures the content, and automatically generates the relevant documentation, such as patient reports, vital signs, and medication logs, directly into the system.
The new funding will enable voize to expand its technology into the hospital sector and further develop its AI for broader industrial applications. The ease of use and adaptability of the platform have already led to its adoption in over 600 care facilities, where it has been shown to reduce caregivers’ documentation time by an average of 39 minutes per shift, according to a study conducted in collaboration with Berlin’s Charité University Hospital.
“Documentation in healthcare is extremely time-consuming. Marcel and I saw this firsthand when our grandfather moved into a nursing home – that’s how the idea for voize was born,” said Fabio Schmidberger, co-founder and CEO. “Today, we deliver real value in healthcare. Tens of thousands of caregivers now simply dictate their documentation, reclaiming valuable time for care.”
“Voize combines all the elements for a true European technology champion: Meaningful impact with thousands of engaged care workers and patients, a sustainable business case for healthcare providers, proprietary technology and the potential to fight the blue-collar labor shortage in Europe,” said Felix Klühr, General Partner at HV Capital, who is excited about the company's potential.
“We're excited to expand our AI into hospitals and beyond, setting the new standard for digital documentation,” added Marcel Schmidberger, co-founder and COO of voize.
