alifcoder · x · 2026-11-13
Retell AI founder @bingwu announced the voice AI company has crossed a $100M revenue run rate, going from $10M to $100M in 17 months while raising only $4.6M and remaining profitable.
From day one, the team focused on solving the hardest parts of deploying voice AI inside the product itself, so customers can build, manage, and improve their own agents without depending on Retell. Their bet: the future of the contact center belongs to the teams that run it. A rare capital-efficient, profitable hypergrowth case in voice AI.
