i'm still processing this. marc andreessen just said he's "completely in love" with our product on lenny's podcast. the co-founder of andreessen horowitz. the guy who's backed stripe, twitter, airbnb, slack. said this about Wispr Flow. most people think wispr is just better dictation. but marc got what we've been building toward from day one: voice ai that understands intent, not just words. we've spent years in conversations where people couldn't see the difference. where the thing we were obsessed with felt impossible to explain. and here's someone who's seen thousands of startups articulating it perfectly in one sentence. grateful to have Marc Andreessen 🇺🇸 as a customer.

All 5 of them tried to break it by talking fast, rapping, saying 'uhms', giving it technical terms, quirky names, and even whispering. But it got it right. Every single time. The Porsche is still with us. Stay tuned ;)

we just raised another $25M after 10x'ing our ARR in 5 months. the crazy part is this almost never happened. 17 years ago, I watched Iron Man as a 10-year-old kid in Delhi. that night, I pulled my first all-nighter teaching myself to code. not because I wanted to build apps or make money. because I wanted to build Jarvis. my parents gave me 1 hour of screen time per day. so I coded in secret, sleeping every alternate night through middle school and high school. built 50+ apps. got a cease and desist from Google at age 12. all for this one obsession: making computers understand us like humans do. fast forward to today: - we've raised $81M total to build the voice operating system - growing revenue 40% month-over-month this year - 70% user retention after one year (unheard of in consumer) - teams at 270 of the Fortune 500 use Wispr Flow daily our Series A2 was led by Hans Tung at Notable Capital (who was an early investor in five companies that made it to $100B valuation like Slack, Tiktok, and Airbnb). we also brought on Steven Bartlett as an investor and partner. but here's what matters more than the money: we cracked voice input. not transcription - actual understanding. our users hit "send" in under 0.5 seconds without checking. they trust it blindly. that's never existed before. in a recent benchmark, Wispr came out as 3-4x more accurate than OpenAI, ElevenLabs, and Siri. and we're just getting started. voice input was step one. now we're building the assistant that actually does things for you. to my co-founder Sahaj Garg - there's no one else I'd rather build Jarvis with than my college roommate and closest friend. to our team pulling all-nighters and shipping magic - you're the reason that 10-year-old kid's dream is becoming real. we're hiring cracked engineers and growth marketers who want to build the future of human-computer interaction. the keyboard had a good 150-year run. time to build what comes next. PS: like, retweet, and bookmark to get wispr flow for free for 3 months ❤️ — Written with Wispr Flow
