Big news — KingsCrowd, the leading private markets investment data platform, featured myself and Namecoach in their coveted Founder Interview series! It’s a fantastic deep dive into how a personal frustration of mine became a rapidly scaling tech startup with $4M+ in ARR. 

They recently rated Namecoach’s raise a 4.7/5.0 (4.9/5.0 risk-adjusted), so this feature is double validation that we’re on to something big. It’s as good for investors as it is for our customers. 

Our round closes next week. The Kingscrowd piece provides more insight to the mission, the moat, the momentum. And why now the time to get in:

Our story starts at my sister’s graduation, where her name was mispronounced in front of thousands. That moment — meant to celebrate — turned into one that didn't honor her identity. That pain is what sparked the idea for Namecoach.

Here’s where we stand today:

✅ Powering millions of name pronunciations with our proprietary AI

✅ Continuing to build the largest verified name pronunciation database in the world (yep — 5x our closest competitor)

✅ Becoming the go-to name tech for AI voice, healthcare, recruiting, and global education

✅ Projecting $6M ARR in 2025 with strategic partnerships already underway

✅ Embedded in Salesforce, Outlook, and soon scaling to 30M+ users through deep platform integrations with major tech companies

Already in? You can increase your investment before our round closes and help us become the infrastructure for spoken identity.
