The founder and CEO of the Startup, Tanay Kothari began building the WISPR to create a tool, which would allow users to only quietly type words by detecting words. Its earlier money was for that business.
Last year, the company began focusing on the software interface designed for WISPR flow, hardware devices instead.
The company released a Mac app in October 2024, followed by a Windows app in March 2025 and an iOS app earlier this month. Kothari mentioned that, since its initial release, Silicon Valley has been using VC products.
“I think every tier forest venture fund in the valley uses WISPR flow for its email, memmo, documents and more. They feel that they are bending themselves on it, and this is one of the products that they use every day. Because of this, we started receiving too much inbound,” Kothari said, “Kothari said about investor interest.
In particular, Grenola had a similar story of getting immense investors interest because VCS used its product a lot.

User development and future roadmap
Startup stated that the app is increasing its user base over 50% month. Kothari said that 40% of the apps of the app are 30% in the US, 30% in Europe and 30% in other parts of the world. In addition, more than 30% of the apps of the app are from a non-technical background.
“More and more people are using AI tools, but still, there is not a good interface for those who do not have techniques. The chatgpt-style interface is the most common, and it was released three and a half years ago. We are building for all types of users, so they do not need to write system signs to interface with AI,” Kothari said.
Currently, the WISPR flow supports the dictation in 104 languages. Kothari said that 40% of dications are in English, and 60 of them are in the rest of the languages, Spanish, French, German, Dutch, Hindi and Top Languages with Mandarin.
The company will use funding to develop its team of 18 with roles in engineering and Go-to-market. It will also release an Android app and complete entrepreneurship users by installing company-wide phrases reference and support teams.
Startup is working on the creation of flow in a product that is similar to an AI-powered assistant who knows more about your personal reference and helps you do everyday tasks such as sending messages, taking notes and setting reminders.
