Namecoach is building the next essential layer for human and AI communication; starting with names, and expanding to set a global standard for culturally aware, personalized connection.
Every day, millions of personal and professional interactions falter at the first word: a mispronounced name. Trust erodes. Belonging fractures. Opportunity evaporates.
Namecoach is first solving this overlooked, universal problem with an award-winning AI system. Our patent software embeds accurate audio pronunciations and automated phonetic guides directly into the tools people use every day.
Backed by leading investors behind Anthropic, OpenAI, Airbnb, Meta, and Oura Ring, Namecoach is building the trusted infrastructure that will power humanized connection at global scale — for people and for AI.
Already adopted by 400+ organizations, including top universities and Fortune 500 companies, Namecoach proves that mastering a single, overlooked, universal pain point can unlock extraordinary enterprise value.
And with strong business fundamentals, we’re delivering practical, compounding value to over 4 million users.
But names are just the beginning.
Our patented AI system, powered by the world’s largest verified dataset of name pronunciations, is already expanding into voice-driven communication, cultural personalization, and global AI infrastructure.
With voice interfaces becoming the next dominant human-computer interface, Namecoach is building a strategic wedge into the $100B+ Voice AI and Conversational AI markets.
It’s the combination of proven product-market fit today, and the inevitable platform expansion of tomorrow, that’s bringing top retail investors into this round as we open access to our broader community.
We were honored to be featured and directly invested in by Crowdscale, a premiere outlet focused on “startup investing for the masses.” Crowdscale highlighted our exceptional gross margins, our ever-improving machine learning models, and our massive growth potential as a strong case for investment.
We’re also proud to have been named a Top Deal by Kingscrowd, a leading private markets investment research platform, following extensive diligence from their team; who subsequently made a direct investment themselves.
These investors are betting our on growth, in part because our traction so far is just scratching the surface.
We did the research (and the math). We found that name pronunciation itself turns out to be an astoundingly large, massively overlooked problem space.
There are over 30 million distinct names used around the world — vastly exceeding the vocabulary of any language. And with 80% of them having multiple valid pronunciations, it’s no surprise how often they’re said wrong.
In an increasingly diverse and connected world, mispronunciations have become a daily, universal friction point. This cuts across education, business, healthcare, and society.
From teachers to sales reps to doctors, they regularly get names wrong, often without realizing the damage done.
The consequences are immediate:
Research from MIT confirms it:
When individuals’ names are repeatedly mispronounced, they experience lower confidence and diminished engagement. The effects cascade to team dynamics, learning outcomes, customer rapport, and business success.
Our own surveys show the costs from the other side:
Beyond numbers and deals, name mispronunciation strikes at identity itself, which is why the emotional impact runs even deeper. Our partners at Procter & Gamble captured the human significance powerfully in a moving short video:
Across industries and life stages, people internalize name mispronunciations as signals of disrespect and exclusion. This causes real harm to belonging, identity, and connection.
Mispronunciations aren’t small glitches. They are deeply consequential pain points. They happen so often that many people have simply resigned themselves to the repeated disrespect.
Namecoach seamlessly embeds pronunciation intelligence into the daily tools people use to connect across education, business, and beyond.
We make it effortless to get names right and in doing so, we unlock trust, connection, and opportunity at every point of communication.
No complex training or onboarding. No disruption to existing workflows.
Just accurate pronunciations; instantly accessible whenever it’s needed and where users already are, inside tools like Salesforce, Outlook, Zoom, Canvas, and more.
Our patented, award-winning AI system combines:
This allows us to deliver culturally aware, confidence-inspiring pronunciation recommendations, even when a name has multiple genuine variations.
As more users engage, the system continually gets better:
These natural network effects create a self-reinforcing flywheel of continuously increasing accuracy, coverage, and defensibility:
More users → Better data → Smarter AI → More users
Investors, startups, and global corporations alike are now asking: Where will the next generation of enterprise value be built in an AI-first world?
Parul Singh of Initialized Capital captured the answer precisely:
It won't come from model size or tech differentiation, but from productizing overlooked and hard-to-collect data “earned through workflow integration, patient data collection, and relentless operational grind”:
This has been part of Namecoach’s strategy from Day One.
Before AI became the dominant paradigm, we were already building the data foundation others would need. We have a high-trust, real-world personalization dataset earned through real user engagement.

Namecoach is already addressing a massive, overlooked market and expanding into one of the largest technology opportunities of the decade.
Through detailed bottom-up analysis of current contracts, inbound demand, and future use cases, we’ve validated that name mispronunciation alone represents an $11B+ total annual revenue opportunity across:
And mastering this space positions us to move into the emerging Voice AI and Conversational AI markets estimated to be $100 billion+ by 2032.
As we respond to customer demand and integrate Namecoach into more communication platforms across sectors, it’s becoming clear: nearly every tool that connects people can use Namecoach.
Our near-term product roadmap focuses on delivering more value across these platforms:
While expanding our presence across communication platforms, Namecoach’s proprietary dataset and AI system uniquely enable us to become an indispensable utility within the emerging voice ecosystem. Mispronunciation is becoming a pervasive flaw across voice-driven technology.
And as voice becomes the dominant human-computer interface, Namecoach will be quietly powering personalization everywhere, behind the scenes. We are poised to become the industry standard for names across speech-related infrastructure providers, model orchestrators, and conversational AI platforms:
Namecoach is executing a playbook that has consistently built category-defining tech companies:

This strategy has worked across industries where what initially seemed like "just a feature" became the foundation for billion-dollar platforms.
Namecoach owns the name pronunciation layer.
By embedding into communication workflows and AI infrastructure, we are expanding into a much larger market: personalized, culturally intelligent communication for humans and AI.
As we grow, we are unlocking new adjacent opportunities such as:
