Bland, the San Francisco-based voice AI company that builds proprietary models for handling complex enterprise phone calls, has closed a $50 million Series C round. Dell Technologies Capital led the investment, with participation from HubSpot Ventures, Archerman Capital, and Tribeca Venture Partners.
Existing backers including Emergence Capital, Upfront Ventures, Scale Venture Partners, and Y Combinator also joined the round. The deal pushes Bland’s total fundraising past $100 million, a milestone reached in less than three years since the company’s founding in 2023.
What Bland actually does
The company’s proprietary voice AI models are designed to manage calls lasting 30 to 45 minutes in healthcare and financial services, two industries where saying the wrong thing can trigger lawsuits.
Bland built its models in-house and runs them on self-hosted infrastructure, meaning it doesn’t depend on third-party large language models. That gives it direct control over compliance requirements like HIPAA in healthcare, ensuring customer call data never passes through third-party servers.
