Funds for Agentic Interviewer Miravoice

San Francisco-based data collection software firm Miravoice has announced $6.3 million in seed funding, and will scale its platform and engineering staff in preparation for a broader rollout.

The company says that in MR and polling 'live phone surveys remain one of the most reliable ways to reach representative populations and capture nuanced responses,' - and seeks to deliver 'more data, faster, for less' by replacing manual work in phone centers with AI-powered voice agents. These are designed to conduct structured, quant conversations such as long-form phone surveys, potentially with 'hundreds of questions' and observing complex rules. Miravoice's software combines large language models and human-sounding voice synthesis technologies with a proprietary architecture which it claims 'keeps the conversations precisely on track.' A no-code interface promises non-technical users the ability to upload questionnaires and configure logic without assistance.

Co-founder and CEO Nishant Jain states: 'For many organizations, live phone calls are still the gold standard for understanding what people think and do, but they're too expensive and time-consuming. We're changing that by giving teams voice agents that can conduct hour-long surveys without hallucinating, follow complex interviewing rules, and never get tired or impatient.'

The funding round was led by round led by Unusual Ventures, with participation from Neo, 25madison and a number of angel investors, including execs from Ramp, PubMatic, Atlassian and Google.
