Wispr Flow Hits $2 Billion Valuation After $280M Series B for AI Voice Dictation

The AI dictation app that's already logged 60 billion words raised $280 million led by Menlo Ventures, with athletes including Livvy Dunne, Shaun White and Dak Prescott joining the round.

Wispr Flow, the AI-powered dictation app that lets people talk instead of type, is now worth $2 billion after closing a $280 million Series B led by Menlo Ventures. The round brings the startup's total funding to $361 million as venture capital piles into speech-to-text AI.

The investor list is unusually star-studded. Existing backers NEA, Notable Capital, Neo Ventures, 8VC and MVP Ventures returned, joined by new investors including Acrew, Forerunner, Goodwater, Peak XV, Together Fund and PLUS Capital. A collective of athletes and cultural figures — gymnast Livvy Dunne, snowboarder Shaun White, and NFL quarterbacks Dak Prescott and Joe Burrow among them — also bought into the round.

Flow has quietly become a daily habit across corporate America. Wispr says users have written more than 60 billion words with the app, and that it's now used by people at nearly all of the Fortune 500 and more than 10,000 enterprises. The round lands as the race to replace the keyboard with natural speech intensifies.
