Retell AI
Builds AI voice agents for business phone calls
Retell AI is using first-principles thinking to reimagine the call center with cutting-edge voice AI. Thousands of companies now use Retell's AI voice agents to handle sales, support, and logistics calls that once required large teams of human agents. Backed by Y Combinator, Alt Capital, and other leading investors. We've grown 20x from $5M to $100M+ in annualized revenue run rate in under two years, reaching a $1.5B+ valuation.
Our vision for 2026 is to build a modern CX platform where entire contact centers are powered by AI. Instead of basic automation that needs constant human tuning, we're creating intelligent AI “workers” that act as frontline agents, QA analysts, and managers, continuously executing, monitoring, and improving every customer interaction.
We're growing fast and looking for ambitious builders who want to tackle hard technical problems, move quickly, and have a real impact on one of the fastest-growing voice AI companies in the world.
Let's build the future together.

Retell AI builds AI voice agents that answer and make phone calls for businesses, covering support, scheduling, sales, and payment calls once handled by human agents. Its agents take calls for companies such as CVS Health, Lenovo, Grab, and the San Antonio Spurs, in fields from healthcare to insurance and finance. Businesses build an agent in a drag-and-drop editor or with code, pick the AI model and voice behind it, connect it to phone lines and tools such as calendars, and test it on simulated calls before going live. Customers pay for each minute their agents spend on the phone. Retell AI was founded in 2023, went through the Y Combinator startup program, and is based in Redwood City, California.
