On December 11, 2024, EzDubs, a speech translation start-up using AI, announced that it has raised a $4.2 million Seed round and launched its flagship solution out of beta: the first and only app that translates calls into other languages as you're speaking, preserving your voice and emotions. "Much like Star Trek's Universal Translator," EzDubs enables people who don't speak each other's languages to communicate by voice live and remotely. The previously unannounced funding round was led by Rahul Garg and Neeraj Arora during their tenure at Venture Highway. Other participants in the round were Y Combinator and well-known angel investors including Jared Friedman (Y Combinator), Amjad Masad and Michele Catasta (Replit), Qasar Younis (Applied Intuition), and Ben Firshman (Replicate).

Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati represented EzDubs in the transaction. The Wilson Sonsini team was led by Yokum Taku.
