Meta acquires AI audio startup WaveForms


WaveForms, founded just eight months ago, last raised $40 million in a round led by Andreessen Horowitz that valued the company at $160 million pre-money, per PitchBook data.

TechCrunch has reached out to WaveForms to find out if its third co-founder and chief technologist, Kartikay Khandelwal, will also join Meta, as well as the outcome of the deal for the roughly 14 other staffers (per LinkedIn) at the company. WaveForms was also developing “Emotional General Intelligence,” which focuses on understanding individual self-awareness and management. Rebecca Bellan is a senior reporter at TechCrunch where she covers the business, policy, and emerging trends shaping artificial intelligence.
