The enterprise voice AI startup now processes over 3.5 million calls per week and has raised more than $100 million in under three years
Bland, the San Francisco-based voice AI company that builds proprietary models for handling complex enterprise phone calls, has closed a $50 million Series C round. Dell Technologies Capital led the investment, with participation from HubSpot Ventures, Archerman Capital, and Tribeca Venture Partners.
Existing backers including Emergence Capital, Upfront Ventures, Scale Venture Partners, and Y Combinator also joined the round. The deal pushes Bland’s total fundraising past $100 million, a milestone reached in less than three years since the company’s founding in 2023.
What Bland actually does #
The company’s proprietary voice AI models are designed to manage calls lasting 30 to 45 minutes in healthcare and financial services, two industries where saying the wrong thing can trigger lawsuits.
Bland built its models in-house and runs them on self-hosted infrastructure, meaning it doesn’t depend on third-party large language models. That gives it direct control over compliance requirements like HIPAA in healthcare, ensuring customer call data never passes through third-party servers.
The numbers behind the noise #
The platform currently handles more than 3.5 million calls per week across over 250 enterprise clients. Over the past year alone, the company has processed more than 175 million AI calls, which works out to roughly 480,000 calls per day.
After raising $22 million following its Series A and then $40 million in its Series B, this $50 million Series C suggests investor confidence is accelerating alongside the company’s client base. Co-founders Isaiah Granet, who serves as CEO, and Sobhan Nejad, the COO, originally came through Y Combinator’s Summer 2023 cohort.
The investor roster also includes Max Levchin, the PayPal co-founder, alongside Piotr Dabkowski and Jeff Lawson, the former Twilio CEO.
