Founded in 2022 by Lily Clifford, Brooke Larson, and Ares Geovanos, Rime develops voice AI models tuned for enterprise phone calls. The company operates a recording studio in San Francisco to collect conversational data rather than relying on web-scraped audio and employs a phoneme-based architecture to adapt pronunciations and brand-specific terms. Rime started with separate pipelines for speech-to-text, text-to-speech, and an LLM but is shifting focus toward speech-to-speech models to reduce latency, improve turn-taking, and handle background noise. It serves customers across food service, healthcare, airlines, and fintech and counts Mayo Clinic, Dialpad, Upstart, and Asurion among its enterprise clients. The startup has about 35 employees and recently hired Rafael Valle as Chief Scientist to strengthen its audio understanding and model work. Rime says its training approach helps increase customer call duration, which it credits with winning enterprise contracts.

Qdrant builds a high-performance, composable vector search engine that lets engineers combine dense and sparse vectors, metadata filters, multi-vector representations, and custom scoring functions at query time. Written entirely in Rust, the platform gives teams granular control over indexing, scoring, filtering, ranking, and latency-versus-precision trade-offs, making it suitable for retrieval-augmented generation, semantic search, and agentic reasoning. The engine deploys flexibly across cloud, hybrid, on-premises, and edge environments and is already used in production by enterprises such as Tripadvisor, HubSpot, OpenTable, Bazaarvoice, and Bosch. Its open-source project has surpassed 250 million downloads and accumulated 29,000 GitHub stars, highlighting strong developer adoption. Qdrant has been recognized in The Forrester Wave: Vector Databases (Q3 2024), GigaOm’s Radar for Vector Databases v3 (2025), and Sifted’s 2025 B2B SaaS Rising 100. The company’s recent Series B financing strengthens its ability to scale these offerings and cement composable vector search as core AI infrastructure.
