ElevenLabs Reviews 2026
ElevenLabs is the world leader in AI voice technology and realistic speech generation. The company was founded in 2022 by Piotr Dąbkowski (a former Google machine learning engineer) and Mati Staniszewski (a former Palantir deployment strategist). The duo, who are childhood friends from Poland, were originally inspired to start the company after becoming frustrated with the poor quality of voice dubbing in American films.
What started as a research-focused project in London has rapidly expanded into a global AI powerhouse. By 2026, ElevenLabs achieved an $11 billion valuation following a $500 million Series D round led by Sequoia Capital. While the company is now headquartered in New York City, it maintains a massive international presence with major R&D hubs in Warsaw and London.
