Announcing Our $3.8M Seed Round to Make Voice AI Agents Reliable 🎙

If 2024 was the year of demos, 2025 is the year of reliable voice agents.

We’re excited to share that @HammingAI has raised $3.8M in seed funding led by @MischiefVC, with participation from @ycombinator, @aigrant, @pioneer_fund, @CoughdropCap, @coalitionvc, @orangecollectv, @twentytwovc, @transposevc, @OliveTreeCap and an incredible group of angels.

2) Coverage by Kerry Flynn from Axios: https://t.co/z9RaSltM1l

Humans make billions of calls every day. AI voice agents will perform a majority of these calls. Ensuring their reliability is tough — small changes can break responses, and manual testing doesn’t scale. Even when you ship your voice agents to production, teams spend hours manually listening to calls to find bugs and edge cases.

At @HammingAI, we automate testing, monitoring, and governance for Voice AI agents, helping teams catch failures, optimize prompts, and flag edge cases in production. Hamming makes your Voice AI agents trustworthy.

Thanks to our team, customers, and investors for believing in this mission.

I was 10 years old when I reverse engineered my first computer system.

It started with my elementary school loaning me a computer to make them a website - and ended with the IT team questioning me about how I got admin access to the district’s file server 😅

Something in my brain clicked at this moment - systems are learnable, malleable, and imperfect. This compulsive need to figure out how things work never went away, and I’ve been fascinated with reverse engineering things ever since.

10-year-old Jimmy would be so pumped for today’s announcement: I’ve raised $3.2m for my new company, Rubie!

Naturally, reverse engineering is a big part of our product - I want to take a moment to tell you about why what we’re building is special, and why you should join us if you’re an engineer in NYC. (https://t.co/XYh0O9SdSl)

[austin petersmith @awwstn]

It's been so inspiring to watch the @BankMercury team execute.

I'm grateful that @immad let me be customer #4, and even more grateful he let me and @stuartdsmith wire $25K into Mercury's Mercury account soon after.😀

If you don't use Mercury, you should switch today.

Onward!🏦
