Poland-Based Startup Revoize Built by DAC.digital Secures €458k Pre-Seed Investment from AIP Seed and the Snowflake Co-Founder
DAC.digital, a leading AI & software company from Gdańsk, Poland, is proud to announce that its in-house-built venture led by Stanisław Raczyński, Revoize, has secured €458k in a pre-seed investment round. Revoize is an advanced AI-powered audio processing engine designed to remove noise and enhance the quality of speech recorded on any device, making it sound as if it was a professional studio recording. Top investors, a VC fund AIP Seed and Marcin Żukowski, angel investor and co-founder of Snowflake), have backed the startup to accelerate its further development. As part of this growth strategy, Revoize is relocating its operations from Poland to the USA.
Generative AI Can Change The Future of Remote Interactions
Revoize’s cutting-edge technology breaks barriers in speech technology by transforming noisy and degraded recordings into studio-quality sound using Generative AI. This solution is set to improve the quality of real-time conversations for billions of people worldwide, making remote interactions more efficient and enjoyable regardless of the original sound quality. The goal is to establish Revoize as the leader in voice communication quality improvement technology.
“At Revoize, our mission is to revolutionize speech content creation and voice communication by providing studio-quality enhancement accessible to everyone. We aim to deliver superior intelligibility and user experience, regardless of the recording device or conditions, making professional-grade audio affordable for all.” – explains Stanisław Raczyński, the startup’s CEO and CTO.
From De-noising Uploaded Files to Real-Time Conversations Improvement
Developed by DAC.digital’s team, Revoize’s web application allows users to upload audio files and receive enhanced versions, where noise is reduced, and clarity is improved, mimicking the recording quality of professional studio equipment in a short time and at a fraction of its cost.
The investment from AIP Seed and Marcin Żukowski will support the development of Revoize’s advanced algorithms, focusing on improving real-time conversation quality. This financial boost will help Revoize expand its datasets, refine its algorithms for more nuanced and natural noise removal and speech enhancement, and explore integrations into various communication platforms and devices.
“Research & development is an important aspect of our business and includes a lot of activities: conducting R&D projects, creating our own products, and developing venture building initiatives. This has led to creating our original products such as MuuMap and D-Box. Our latest project of that kind is Revoize. The decision to spin it out was a natural one, as we see the potential for commercialization in this technology. We supported Revoize at an early stage through our venture building program, and we believe that its full potential will be realized as an independent entity.” – says Przemek Szleter, CEO at DAC.digital.
Stanisław Andrzej Raczyński, PhD, a renowned professional with 18 years of experience in AI, machine learning, and audio DSP research, has been leading the development of Revoize at DAC.digital since 2023 and will stay on board as the CEO and CTO as the company continues its development in the USA. His expertise and vision have been instrumental in transforming the concept of generative speech restoration into a working prototype and now a market-ready product.
“One key challenge in the near future is achieving real-time performance with minimal latency, ensuring our technology operates seamlessly on modern mobile devices such as laptops and phones without compromising computational efficiency. Additionally, we must navigate an increasingly competitive speech enhancement market, distinguishing our solutions through innovation and superior performance.” – announced Stanisław Raczyński.
Stanisław is also experienced in engineering and technology development. Previously, he worked for Cisco, Intel, and BabbleLabs, where he was involved in researching and developing speech enhancement technologies.
