Eleven Labs, the London‑based AI voice startup, is in early talks with investors about a secondary share sale that could lift its valuation to roughly $22 bn. The tender offer would let employees off‑load shares and might close as early as September if negotiations hold. A deal at that level would double the figure set in February’s $500 m round at an $11 bn valuation.

Founded in 2022 by former Google and Palantir engineers Mati Staniszewski and Piotr Dabkowski, Eleven Labs has become one of Europe’s most valuable AI firms. Its synthetic‑voice platform serves publishing, advertising, customer‑service and enterprise software players. The company now leans toward larger corporate clients; revenue split, roughly 50‑50 between consumer and enterprise at end‑2025, is projected to swing to 70% enterprise by 2027.

The prospective secondary raises fresh capital and signals confidence ahead of a likely public listing, a goal repeatedly voiced by Staniszewski. With about 400 staff across London, Warsaw and New York and 250,000 job applications last year, the firm’s talent pull underscores its growth trajectory. Investors will watch the tender as a barometer of market appetite for high‑growth AI infrastructure assets.
