LiveKits Series C: Towards the voice-driven era of computing
Summary
LiveKit announced a $100M Series C round led by Index Ventures (joined by Salesforce Ventures, Hanabi Capital, Altimeter, and Redpoint) that values the company at $1 billion. The company builds a realtime, stateful voice AI development stack and runtime—including client SDKs, LiveKit Agents, Agent Builder, serverless agents, global data centers, PSTN telephony links, and inference routing—to help enterprises deploy voice agents at scale. LiveKit added tooling for testing, simulation partnerships, model colocation, and Agent Observability to measure session replays, traces, and transcripts. The funding will accelerate development as LiveKit positions voice as a new paradigm for applications across customer support, healthcare, retail, and other industries.
