Podcast Title 255 Keyvan Mohajer -Soundcloud-01

Keyvan Mohajer CEO of SoundHound on 18 Years to a Billion Dollar Voice Assistant – Voicebot Podcast Ep 255

Keyvan Mohajer is CEO of SoundHound (SOUN), the creator of both a beloved music recognition mobile app and one of the most successful custom voice assistant development platforms. The company recently went public and carries a market capitalization of over $1 billion. We talk about the volatility of the stock but the real focus is drilling down into the company’s business model, the use cases, and what the market wants in voice assistant technology today.

Mohajer founded SoundHound in 2004 while studying for his PhD in Electrical Engineering at Stanford. The company’s voice assistant technology is used in solutions for companies ranging from Mercedes and Hyundai to Snap, Netflix, and White Castle. Its music recognition mobile app has been downloaded more than 300 million times.

His last appearance on the Voicebot Podcast was in episode 41 from 2018. That was released the day SoundHound announced $100 million in venture financing. Four years later and SoundHound has raised another $100 million but this time from public markets and with a more robust story to tell.
