Wispr

Wispr, an AI dictation tool founded by Stanford grads Tanay Kothari and Sahaj Garg, raised a $280M Series B at a $2B valuation. The company pivoted from an original concept of a wearable wristband that would translate neurological signals (sub-vocalization) into text to a voice-to-text platform for AI agents after three years of R&D on the wristband proved technically feasible but uninspiring.
