Slang AI Bags $36M to Let Restaurants Stop Answering Phones
NYC-based Slang AI closes $36M Series B for its voice AI platform serving the hospitality industry.
Slang AI just pulled in $36 million in Series B funding to keep building voice AI that picks up the phone so hotel and restaurant staff don't have to.
The New York-based startup develops AI-powered voice software tailored specifically for the hospitality sector. Its platform handles inbound calls, manages reservations, and fields the kind of repetitive inquiries that eat up front-desk time.
U.S. Venture Partners led the round, according to CEO Alex Sambvani, who broke the news through Axios.
It's a smart niche play. Hospitality businesses get slammed with phone calls — especially restaurants during peak hours. Automating that workflow with voice AI frees up staff for the humans actually standing in front of them.
With $36 million in fresh capital, expect Slang to push deeper into the industry and scale its platform aggressively.
