EzDubs, a San Francisco, CA-based startup providing a real-time speech translation app, raised $4.2m in Seed funding.
The previously unannounced funding round was led by Rahul Garg and Neeraj Arora during their tenure at Venture Highway. Other participants were Y Combinator and angels including Jared Friedman (Y Combinator), Amjad Masad and Michele Catasta (Replit), Qasar Younis (Applied Intuition) and Ben Firshman (Replicate).
The company intends to use the funds to expand operations and its development efforts.
Co-founded by Padmanabhan Krishnamurthy and Amrutavarsh Kinagi, later joined by Kareem Nassar, EzDubs provides an app that translates calls into other languages as people are speaking, preserving voices, cadence, and emotions. Designed for people who don’t speak each other’s languages but need to communicate by voice remotely, like cross lingual couples, those managing offshore staff, immigrants and their support teams, and a multitude of latent translation uses that are widespread but not mainstream, the free app translates instantly without waiting for a sentence to complete, allowing for natural free-form conversations without any pauses.
