About Krisp
Krisp develops AI-powered voice technology that removes background noise and enhances audio quality for remote communications. The company was founded in 2017 by Davit Baghdasaryan and Arto Minasyan and is headquartered in Palo Alto, California.
Krisp's primary product is a noise cancellation application that uses machine learning to filter out background sounds during voice calls and meetings. The platform supports integration with popular communication tools including Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Slack, and Discord. The company has expanded its offerings to include real-time transcription, accent conversion, and meeting note generation features.
Krisp raised $9 million in Series A funding in 2021 led by Bessemer Venture Partners, following a $5 million seed round. The company reports serving over 5 million users globally and has processed more than 1 billion minutes of audio through its platform.

Competitive Landscape
Who Krisp competes with, and how they differ.
Zoom ships its own AI background-noise-suppression natively inside the Zoom client at no extra cost, competing directly for Zoom-only users, while Krisp differentiates by working across any call or voice app instead of being locked to one platform.

NVIDIA Broadcast (formerly RTX Voice) offers free real-time AI noise removal and background effects for streamers and gamers, but requires an NVIDIA RTX GPU and runs only locally, unlike Krisp, whose app works cross-platform on any device.
