Nvidia is making a “strategic” investment in UK-based AI startup ElevenLabs, founded in 2022, as the company looks to expand through long-term partnerships rather than immediate capital needs. ElevenLabs CEO and co-founder Mati Staniszewski said the deal is more about strategic collaboration, with Nvidia providing both funding and deep expertise in GPUs to support the company’s AI audio models. The undisclosed investment, structured as an in-between round, adds to ElevenLabs’ backing from Andreessen Horowitz and Sequoia, and follows its recent $6.6 billion valuation.
