Recall.ai is a San Francisco developer-infrastructure company that sells a universal API for capturing meetings. Instead of building brittle bots for Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Webex, Slack Huddles and in-person calls, developers make a single API call and get back recordings, transcripts, and rich participant metadata. Founded by University of Waterloo dropouts David Gu and Amanda, the company pivoted from a consumer meeting app into the plumbing beneath a wave of AI notetakers and sales tools, and now powers thousands of companies. Recall.ai is Y Combinator-backed and raised a $38M Series B at a reported ~$250M valuation in September 2025.
SpeakIn Technologies is a voiceprint-recognition and identity-security company founded in Silicon Valley in 2015 and headquartered in Shenzhen.

Its SDK and cloud APIs are used across banking, public security, and smart devices, with reported accuracy near 98% and customers including Tencent, Lenovo, ASUS, and China Merchants Bank.
