Bland Raises $50 Million Series C, Surpassing $100 Million Raised
Bland, a voice AI company that builds in-house models for complex, high-stakes phone conversations, has raised an additional $50 million from Scale, Emergence, HubSpot, Dell Technologies Capital, Upfront, and others. The round brings Bland's total funding past $100 million in under three years. The company now handles more than 3.5 million calls a week for organizations including Samsara, Kin Insurance, and CNO Financial Group, spanning healthcare, financial services, and other industries where call quality impacts business.
Exbo Group has provided ongoing CFO and controllership advisory services to Bland for the past year and a half.
Elana Lian, Partner at Dell Technologies Capital, said, "Voice is one of the hardest problems in AI, and Bland is one of the few companies tackling it at the level required for real-world deployment. Their decision to build models in-house and focus on complex, high-stakes interactions has positioned them ahead of the market."
