Israeli Voice AI Startup Kardome Closes $10M Series A to Launch Expansion into Asia

Israeli voice AI startup Kardome has raised $10 million in a Series A funding round led by Korea Investment Partners, with support from Hyundai Motor Group, Talcar Corp., and Techstars. This funding will support Kardome’s expansion into Asia, including a new headquarters in Seoul.

Founded by CEO Dani Cherkassky and VP of Research & Development Alon Slapak, Kardome specializes in spatial hearing technology that enables context-aware voice interactions on over a million devices, eliminating the need for manual input even in noisy environments. Cherkassky described this innovation as a “new paradigm” in voice technology, enhancing natural human-device interaction.
