Iceland-based Treble raises $18 million for its voice simulation platform
Treble, an Iceland-based startup founded in 2020 by acoustic engineers Finnur Pind and Jesper Pedersen, has raised $18 million to expand its voice AI simulation platform. The funding round was led by Paladin Capital Group with participation from existing investors KOMPAS VC, Frumtak Ventures, EIC, and Omega ehf. This brings the company's total fundraising to over $40 million since 2024. Treble provides synthetic data generation for speech enhancement, noise suppression, and model training while also evaluating voice AI models under various conditions. The startup partners with companies like Hugging Face on benchmarks for speech recognition and works with hardware makers such as Amazon and Logitech to test product performance in real-world acoustic environments. It is expanding into wearables and robotics by offering simulation testing that could enable advanced hearing features. The company aims to become a central infrastructure layer for voice AI, physical AI, and wearable technologies. Paladin Capital Group's VP Francois Ruether highlighted the growing importance of Treble’s platform as more products rely on sound-based functions.
