Berlin-based startup Voize has raised $9 million in a Seed funding round led by HV Capital, with participation from existing investors Y Combinator, Redalpine, and HPI Ventures.
Founded in 2020 by twins Fabio and Marcel Schmidberger, along with Erik Ziegler, Voize has developed an AI-driven speech recognition application aimed at simplifying healthcare documentation. The platform enables caregivers to dictate notes via smartphone, which the AI then processes into structured documentation entries, such as patient reports and medication logs, directly integrated into existing systems.
Currently utilized in over 600 care facilities, Voize’s technology has been shown to reduce caregivers’ documentation time by an average of 39 minutes per shift, according to a study conducted with Berlin’s Charité University Hospital.
The newly secured funds will be used to expand Voize’s technology into the hospital sector and further develop its AI for broader industrial applications. “We’re excited to expand our AI into hospitals and beyond, setting the new standard for digital documentation,” said Marcel Schmidberger, co-founder and COO of Voize.
HV Capital’s General Partner, Felix Klühr, expressed enthusiasm about the company’s potential: “Voize combines all the elements for a true European technology champion: meaningful impact with thousands of engaged care workers and patients, a sustainable business case for healthcare providers, proprietary technology, and the potential to fight the blue-collar labor shortage in Europe.”
