AethexAI Raises $3M for Voice AI Targeting African and Middle Eastern Markets
AethexAI, a voice AI startup targeting under-served markets like Africa and the Middle East, has raised $3 million in pre-seed funding. The company built its own models to handle localized dialects of English, French, and Arabic due to limitations with existing tools. Founders Mariama Diallo (Goldman Sachs) and Ayooluwa Odemuyiwa (Meta) aim to address automation challenges faced by businesses in these regions.
