Recho, a developer of voice AI platforms, announced on the 10th that it has raised ¥300 million in the first close of its Series A funding round. SBI Investment led the round. The company plans to use the funds to strengthen its organizational structure and technical base, with a clear focus on expanding its enterprise business.
Recho provides an AI native voice AI platform built around its own text to speech, automatic speech recognition, and dialogue control technologies. Since launching its service in April 2024, the company has been rolling out the platform to enterprise customers, including financial institutions, government bodies, and platform operators.
The company positions its product as more than a traditional IVR or chatbot upgrade. Its system is designed specifically for the generative AI era, aiming to balance natural conversational flow with the requirements of real business operations. レチョー states that its proprietary TTS and ASR technologies have achieved top tier results in global benchmarks, with particular strength in Japanese language naturalness and speech recognition accuracy.

The newly raised capital will go toward hiring engineers across research and development, core technology, platform development, and customer implementation. Recho also plans to use insights gained through consulting work to standardize and generalize its products, moving toward features that allow client companies to build and deploy voice AI through self-service.
In parallel, the company plans to expand its use cases, including applications in call center operations, with the goal of improving operational efficiency and overall customer experience.
