Who is Mati and what is ElevenLabs?
I'm Mati. I'm one of the co-founders at the Level Labs. We are 600 people. We are 600 million in ARI and revenues. We, of course, want to create a global company, but want to build a strong European ecosystem. As a company, we try to do two things. We try to do the research and the product deployment. We started with the first model to produce text to speech, to produce voice. So I'll send you a text and you make me a voice. That's the idea, right? Exactly. So you frequently work with foundations for people that look Their voice due to throat cancer, due to ALS, and when they lose their voice, we help them recreate their voice so they can speak again. The reason we started with voice is we thought that for solving the communication with AI, the voice is the biggest opportunity because to access the benefits of AI, you will need to learn how to communicate with it.
And we want to solve that. The great future of that would be more of a Jarvis from Iron Man. You can ask it questions, you can ask it for help. We now embed an engineer in every non-technical.
Wow. Listen to that folks. I mean one engineer in each team, like HR, Finance, Legal,
all of them. One of my favorite lines is is you can outsource the thinking, but you cannot outsource the understanding. And with AI, you can ask all those questions to outsource the thinking and get the answer, but you cannot outsource whether you actually understand it.
We are the average of people we spend the most time with. My name is Mathieu Stéphanie and I invite entrepreneurs, athletes and artists to raise my average and yours. Just before we begin this episode, I'll switch to French for a brief moment to thank my sponsors.

It's as us uh you're trying to build global company, we feel like the the the way to do it is having this uh very local obsession of building and being on the ground in all the cities and countries.
