Danish Augmented Hearing aims to set global standard in speech understanding with new funding
Summary
Copenhagen-based deep-tech startup Augmented Hearing has secured 3 million in seed funding to scale Sharpi v.1.0, its AI-powered voice isolation software designed for mission-critical communication environments like emergency call centers and air traffic control towers. The round was led by Crowberry Capital, a Nordic VC known for backing bold frontier-tech ventures, with participation from strategically aligned scale investors. The funding will accelerate global deployment of Sharpi, which uses a neural network trained on millions of voice samples to dramatically enhance speech intelligibility in noisy, high-stakes settings. Founded by industry veterans with backgrounds in Oticon/Demant and deep expertise in AI, psychoacoustics, and software development, the company is pioneering a new category of speech understanding technology. Its flagship product, Sharpi v.1.0, leverages advanced neural networks trained on millions of voice samples to isolate and enhance human speech in chaotic, high-noise environmentssuch as emergency call centers and air traffic control towerswhere clarity is a matter of life and death.Currently deployed in emergency response centers across Iceland, Denmark, Portugal, Spain, and Switzerland, Sharpi v.1.0 significantly outperforms conventional voice technologies, reducing operator stress, enhancing focus, and improving real-time decision-making.This funding marks an exciting next phase in our journey.
