This week on the Voicing Startups podcast I am talking with Bruce, Co-Founder and CEO of AgVoice. AgVoice is designed for use across the food and agriculture ecosystem, including livestock and crop production, agronomy, animal health and wellness, and machinery repair.

Ultimately this results in more sustainable farm practices as well as more efficient, traceable and accurate reporting from professionals and producers. In this interview, we start with the general background of AgVoice and how Bruce and his team saw the opportunity for this product.

This week’s episode of the Voicing Startups podcast is a bit different. Usually I am interviewing different startups in the audio and voice space, but today I am talking with Marc Ladin, General Partner at VoicePunch. VoicePunch is an early stage venture capital fund that has a thematic focus on audio and voice tech. The fund has been actively investing since January of 2019 and is in the process of raising our next fund. I joined the VoicePunch team about a year ago, and I believe Marc and I working together resulted in us having a really good interview and reflection of a year in voice tech investing. To start off this interview we talk about Marc's background as a tech entrepreneur, how he got into early stage investing, and ultimately why he decided to focus on audio and voice tech. This focus led to VoicePunch and their Beta fund in 2019 which we dig into next. We discuss the evolution of VoicePunch’s strategy, the investments made and why, and some other general takeaways. This discussion led to 2020 and the years ahead. In 2020 VoicePunch is in the process of raising Fund 1, also focused on early stage investing in audio and voice tech. To wrap up the interview we talk about Marc’s outlook on the next decade ahead in the space. I hope you enjoy this week's episode of Voicing Startups!

Today on the Voicing Startups podcast I am talking with Obaid, Founder and CEO of Botmock. Botmock is a one stop shop platform that has everything you need to prototype and test both chatbot and voice-based conversational experiences. Features include a drag-n-drop editor, project management tools, usability testing, developer handover and more. As you will hear in the interview, the true value of Botmock gets unlocked by having the ability to have different stakeholders have insight into the project, all the way from designers to developers. We kick off the episode with a great origin story and ultimately what Botmock is today. A key note here is that today Botmock is designed for distribution on 10 different conversational channels.  Following a high level overview of the business, we dug into the target customers and business model. To get a better understanding of what users can do with the Botmock platform, Obaid then gave an overview of individual features that ultimately allow users to design, prototype, and test their experiences and the importance of each individual piece. However, the real value is having all of these pieces working together with the ability for teams to collaborate on projects and have insight into the work being done from design all the way to development. As we approach the end of our conversation, Obaid gives a glimpse into some of the best use cases he has seen with conversational experiences and where we can see the product going in the future. To put a bow on our conversation, Obaid paints a compelling picture of why he is excited about voice and conversational experiences going forward.

Botmock is a one stop shop platform that has everything you need to prototype and test both chatbot and voice-based conversational experiences. Features include a drag-n-drop editor, project management tools, usability testing, developer handover and more. As you will hear in the interview, the true value of Botmock gets unlocked by having the ability to have different stakeholders have insight into the project, all the way from designers to developers. We kick off the episode with a great origin story and ultimately what Botmock is today. A key note here is that today Botmock is designed for distribution on 10 different conversational channels.  Following a high level overview of the business, we dug into the target customers and business model. To get a better understanding of what users can do with the Botmock platform, Obaid then gave an overview of individual features that ultimately allow users to design, prototype, and test their experiences and the importance of each individual piece. However, the real value is having all of these pieces working together with the ability for teams to collaborate on projects and have insight into the work being done from design all the way to development. As we approach the end of our conversation, Obaid gives a glimpse into some of the best use cases he has seen with conversational experiences and where we can see the product going in the future. To put a bow on our conversation, Obaid paints a compelling picture of why he is excited about voice and conversational experiences going forward.

Botmock with Obaid - Ep. 10

This weeks episode of Voicing Startups will be a little bit different. As opposed to me sitting down and interviewing a different company in the audio and voice space, I am sharing with everybody an interview where the tables were turned. I was the one being interviewed talking all about the world of audio and voice but from the lens of my day to day work with a thematic focused venture fund called Voicepunch with an interest in the audio and voice space. In this episode you can hear all about why I got interested in voice and how I ultimately ended up at Voicepunch as an investor in the space. Aside from my story, we talk all about the world of voice both from a general perspective but also from an investment perspective. I feel having the tables turned gave me the ability to show some of my true colors and passion for this space so I hope you all enjoy it! My interview was with Nick Myers on the Artificial podcast. The Artificial Podcast is a weekly podcast series that breaks down trending topics in the world of AI and #VoiceFirst so everyone can understand how these technologies are impacting our lives personally and within organizations.

Bespoken with Diego - Ep. 14

Today on the Voicing Startups podcast I am talking with Armel, the founder of Trebble.fm. Trebble lets you stay up-to-date with all the different topics you care about by listening to short-casts (1 to 2-minute podcasts) from your favorite sources and content creators. Through the Trebble platform you are able to listen to these short-casts on your phone, on the web or any voice-enabled speakers with Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant. Being a creator of short-casts I was super excited to do this interview, and Armel exceeded all expectations. In this interview we touched on many different things ranging from metrics around the business to the in’s and out’s of short-casts.  To start the Voicing Startups interview off, Armel gives a background of himself, which really shows the work ethic that he brings to Trebble, coming from Central Africa to study in Canada, work for another startup and ultimately start his own company. We then start to dig more into the Trebble product itself. We discuss what the product exactly is as well as what a “short-cast” is, which sits at the core of the product. We then dig into the business model, the target customer landscape, as well as what the competitor landscape looks like and how Trebble is able to differentiate itself. To wrap up the episode, we start to look at a few more high level topics and Armel’s view of the future. Specifically, we discussed what the future of short-casts may look like and ultimately the Trebble platform alongside that progression. Also, Armel discusses what gets him excited with the continued proliferation of audio. Check below for the best places to follow Trebble.FM and the Voicing Startups Podcast!
