AI data and simulation startups OriginalVoices and Treble have secured new funding to support their specialized services for the artificial intelligence industry.

OriginalVoices, a UK-based platform, closed a £1m pre-seed round led by Iona Star. The company aims to provide a “human context layer” for AI by using a network of digital twins created via its Twineo app, allowing AI agents to access real-time human insights. The funding will support team expansion and growth in the US market.

Treble, an Iceland-based company, has continued to expand its capital following an $18 million Series A extension led by Paladin Capital Group. Most recently, the company secured an additional $18 million in a Series A-2 round, also led by Paladin Capital Group with participation from KOMPAS VC, Frumtak Ventures, and the European Innovation Council (EIC) Fund. This brings Treble’s total funding to approximately €36 million. The company provides a simulation platform for the voice AI sector, utilizing physics simulation to generate synthetic data for speech enhancement and model training. Its technology creates digital twins of real-world environments to help developers train audio-enabled physical AI systems, such as robotics and wearables, to interpret sound in diverse acoustic conditions. The new investment is intended to support growth in the US market and expand capabilities within the physical AI sector.
