Language I/O – a leader in AI-powered and multilingual customer support technology – announced a $5 million funding round led by Gutbrain Ventures. This funding included participation from several new venture firms inspired by Language I/O’s unique platform.
With the utilization of proprietary machine learning (ML) and generative AI, Language I/O continues to improve the accuracy and efficiency of its real-time translation platform while simultaneously funding R&D efforts in the multilingual chatbot space.
The key participants in this round also included the State of Wyoming’s Venture Capital fund. Based in Wyoming, Language I/O was the new fund’s first investment last year. Also participating in this round were Joint Effects, PBJ Capital, Omega Venture Partners and the Raptor Group.
