Announcing our Series A funding, Smallest AI, 2026, Announcement, first paragraph.
Open the original- What it measures
- Smallest AI's own announcement of its Series A, with participation from Sierra Ventures and 3one4 Capital. The company's product is a voice AI platform: its page says the round funds real-time speech-to-speech technology, and its Pulse speech-to-text model is one part of the product. The row is filed under voice agents and voice AI because the round is for that platform.
- What it does not show
- The blog page is dated 5 October 2026, but press reports (Raising.fi and Seedtable) date the same round to 31 July 2026. The row uses the company's page date and the dates disagree, so check before publishing. The $21 million on the page is total funding to date, not this round. The $8 million seed of October 2025 is not on the company's own pages and is not a row here.
