Aiphoria Secures Strategic Investment to Scale GTM for its AI Agent Platform in the U.S. and Europe

We’re thrilled to share some exciting news: Aiphoria has finalized the first round of investment at a post-money valuation of $150 million USD. This strategic round, totaling $34 million, is led by Ratmir Timashev — a legendary tech entrepreneur, co-founder of Veeam Software, and a builder of multiple multi-billion-dollar companies.

This milestone marks a pivotal moment for Aiphoria, and we’re excited about what’s next.

Why Now

The demand for scalable, secure, voice-enabled AI-powered enterprise automation has never been higher. Across industries, businesses are looking to increase customer satisfaction while improving employees’ productivity and reducing the cost of human-only teams in customer service, payment collections, sales, marketing, and recruitment.

Agentic AI, our specialty, changes the game. It allows enterprises to deploy autonomous AI agents that communicate naturally, act with intent, and scale infinitely — all while remaining fully controllable and secure.

Our voice-first Aiphoria Pro Platform delivers a unique blend of enterprise-grade scalability, state-of-the-art Conversational and Voice AI, secure on-prem deployment, and an extensible architecture for building and deploying AI Agents (Aiphoria Pros). Designed to work alongside humans, Aiphoria Pro agents are tailored for diverse use cases — from managing payments and recruiting candidates to driving sales — across voice, messaging, and email. They operate in multiple languages with better-than-human efficiency.

With this new investment, we’ll double down on our mission and bring our vision and technologies to the U.S. and European markets at full scale.


“From day one, we’ve been laser-focused on building a real business — not chasing the hype around Agentic AI, not pitching to VCs, but solving real problems for real enterprise clients with production-ready Conversational and Voice AI. We built everything from the ground up, bootstrapped — from the first line of code to a profitable company with a team of over 50.

What mattered most to us wasn’t securing funding — it was proving the technology in real-world deployments. Our product delivers tangible impact. Our business model is sustainable. And that’s exactly what caught the attention of a seasoned investor. We’re glad it did.”
— Konstantin Kruglov, Chairman and Co-founder of Aiphoria

Why Ratmir Timashev

Ratmir is best known as the co-founder of Veeam Software, a global leader in enterprise data security and cyber resilience. He has a remarkable track record of identifying and nurturing category-defining companies — and we’re honored that he sees Aiphoria as one of them.

“What stood out to me wasn’t just the technology — it was the discipline, clarity, and grit behind it. In a market flooded with inflated promises, this team quietly built a real business: profitable, product-led, and deeply attuned to customer needs. They’ve assembled a brilliant founding team and achieved real-world enterprise-scale deployments, powering tens of thousands daily end-customer interactions with state-of-the-art Conversational and Voice AI. That’s rare.

What they’ve accomplished without outside capital is remarkable — and what comes next will be even more impressive with the right support. I’m excited to personally back Aiphoria in its next phase of growth and help accelerate its innovation across the U.S. and European markets.”
— Ratmir Timashev, Strategic Investor

What’s Next

With Ratmir’s support, we’ll accelerate development of the Aiphoria Pro Platform, expand our R&D and go-to-market teams, and scale operations in North America and Europe.

“This partnership isn’t just a milestone — it’s proof that even in a world of hype cycles, bubbles, and constant noise, there’s still space for something real. You can start from nothing — no connections, no capital, no map — and still build something that matters. Something that gets noticed, not for its pitch deck, but for its impact.

Today marks the end of one chapter — the bold, bootstrapped beginning. What’s next is a new stage of the journey. But this moment — this win — is ours. And we’ll never forget how it started.’

— Denis Chernilevsky, CEO, Co-founder Aiphoria.

What Is Aiphoria?

Aiphoria delivers an infinitely scalable workforce of AI-powered virtual employees (Aiphoria Pros) that handle communication-heavy enterprise workflows — from customer support and sales to talent recruitment and payment collections.

Aiphoria Pro Autonomous Agents

Voice-first AI employees available in specialized roles:

  • Support Pro

  • Collection Pro

  • Sales Pro

  • Recruitment Pro

  • Plus custom agents for domain-specific workflows.

They speak multiple languages, hold goal-driven conversations, and dramatically boost productivity — without hiring, training, or HR overhead.

Aiphoria Pro Copilots

AI assistants that work alongside humans, automating repetitive tasks, providing intelligent suggestions, and enhancing accuracy. Purpose-built variations include:

  • Recruitment Pro Copilot

  • Support Pro Copilot

  • Plus custom agents for domain-specific workflows.

How are Aiphoria Pros delivered?

Aiphoria Pro Platform lets companies deploy AI-powered virtual employees on scale.

  • The platform is designed with modern enterprise system requirements in mind:

  • Focus on voice as a primary channel, while seamlessly supporting messaging, emailing and chatting.

  • Full on-premise deployment within the enterprise’s IT infrastructure (ensuring data security and compliance);

  • Modular, open architecture (easily adaptable to evolving technologies: open-source components like LLM’s or ready-made AI agents can be integrated into the platform);

  • The platform can be delivered with open-source code to ensure fundamental security, transparency, and trust.

  • Components for multilingual support including low-resource languages.

Deployed within days, the Aiphoria Pro Platform enables businesses to leverage all the benefits of conversational AI while virtually eliminating all the risks associated with this technology.

Aiphoria Pro Store is a marketplace for virtual employees and copilots, where developer teams can host and showcase their AI agents – serving as both a distribution channel and a leaderboard-driven ecosystem to discover top-performing solutions.

Why It Matters

Enterprises today face a stark choice: overstaff and overspend — or automate with intelligence. Human teams alone can't meet modern demands for availability, speed, and personalization. Traditional bots fall short.

Aiphoria bridges the gap — with autonomous AI agents that sound human, scale endlessly, and work across any communication channel.

This investment allows us to bring that vision to more customers, faster.
