Founded in 2024 by ex-Scale AI leaders Tomer Cohen and Ben Wiley, David AI is building the data layer for the voice era. The company produces high-quality, diverse audio datasets that capture the real-world range of human speech across languages, accents, emotions, and acoustic environments. Off-the-shelf datasets include Converse (natural two-speaker English conversations with channel separation), Atlas (multilingual, accented, and dialect-rich audio), Chorus (multi-speaker dialogues for diarization), and Dialog (expert domain conversations). David AI raised roughly $80M across three rounds in under a year, capped by a $50M Series B led by Meritech Capital with participation from NVIDIA.
