Conversations are arguably the world’s largest data set. Yet, the data and context that fuel today's AI revolution are often relegated to what's already documented or structured. Conversation data, on the other hand, just floats in the ether. But every strategy meeting, sales call, customer complaint, brainstorming session, doctor consult, and coffee chat holds something invaluable: context.
Agents and applications need context
Conversation and meeting data offer vital context to supercharge AI agents and apps. Enter Recall.ai — the infrastructure that makes it effortless to capture and leverage this data at scale and in real time. The ability to gain insights from conversation data is enabling the emergence of new markets and products. This burgeoning ecosystem includes many of our portfolio companies, like Abridge, Rilla, and Avantos. Recall.ai underlies this trend, which is why we’re proud to lead the company’s $38M Series B round.
In every modern organization, meetings are where crucial context is shared, customer knowledge is exchanged, and decisions are made. Until now, accessing and scaling that flood of meeting data intelligently — across platforms, formats, and workflows — has been a challenge. Recall.ai solves this by providing a single, robust solution that abstracts the complexity.
One API, every platform
Recall.ai provides a unified API and developer platform for conversation intelligence. It powers meeting bots, captures and distills video, audio, and metadata across platforms, including Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, Webex, Slack, Desktop, and more. Recall.ai handles it all — from unlimited concurrent Virtual Machine infrastructure to real-time transcripts, audio and video streams, and granular metadata, like speaker identification and screen sharing — all delivered securely.
As the infrastructure behind thousands of conversation intelligence products, processing many billions of minutes annually, Recall.ai is growing quickly across developers and enterprises. Leaders and innovators like HubSpot, DataDog, Calendly, Instacart, Charlie Health, Rippling, and ClickUp all rely on Recall.ai. The company has grown 12X in 2023 and 3X in 2024, and is on track for a record 2025, with recent launches including Desktop Recording SDK, Calendar Integration, and Storage and Playback, with a Mobile SDK in beta and other major releases coming soon.
Customers get up and running within hours instead of spending months building custom infrastructure and dedicating ongoing headcount to maintenance. Teams save 500+ developer hours of engineering time by offloading meeting data management to Recall.ai. This allows companies to ship fast and free up precious development resources.
Why we’re backing the team behind Recall.ai
The idea for Recall.ai stemmed from a problem that cofounders David Gu (CEO) and Amanda Zhu (COO) experienced firsthand while building their previous company, a real-time transcription tool for video conferences. They realized the bulk of their engineering team's resources were consumed by building, scaling, and maintaining integrations with platforms.
Recognizing that this infrastructure challenge was plaguing others, David and Amanda launched Recall.ai in 2022. The small but mighty team is relentless in solving complex technical challenges and offering customers and developers robust, delightful, and dependable infrastructure. The team is also growing.

We’re excited to back this all-star team as it enables a growing ecosystem of innovative applications. If you’re building applications or agents that could be supercharged with context and need to access, analyze, or act on conversation data, try Recall.ai.
