CAMB.AI, a UAE-based AI dubbing startup, has secured $4 million in a seed funding round led by Courtside Ventures, TRTL Ventures, Blue Star Innovation Partners, Ikemori Ventures, and Eisaburo Maeda. The funding will be used to accelerate further development and global expansion, as reported by Wamda. Founded by Avneesh and Akshat Prakash in 2022, CAMB.AI utilizes speech AI technology to instantly dub performances in over 100 languages, dialects, and accents, preserving the original voices and nuances.
Vasu Kulkarni, partner at Courtside Ventures, expressed the significance of this advancement, especially for diverse audiences. He stated, “Growing up in India, a land of over 700 languages, I saw first-hand how difficult it was to consume the plethora of content out there when you couldn’t understand it. For NBA fans in India to now potentially be able to watch Steph Curry while listening to the indelible Mike Breen commentating in Hindi is going to globalize the game even further.”
The service captures and conveys the speaker’s original tone and nuance, preserving emotion with less than three seconds of input, ensuring the translated content remains powerful and engaging. CAMB.AI has already gained significant traction, with over 100 million views and a client roster that includes Major League Soccer, Tennis Australia, Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment, celebrity chef Nick DiGiovanni, YouTuber Narin Beauty, and YouTuber BeerBiceps, among others.
The startup has also made a mark in the film industry, being utilized in Emirati director Nayla Al Khaja’s horror film “Three,” which was fully AI-dubbed into multiple languages, marking a milestone as the world’s first multilingual feature film.
