The investment will be put towards the acceleration of commercial adoption across Europe and the US, as well as to advance product development and grow Vox Talk’s team.

Earlier this week, Dublin start-up Vox Talk announced the closure of a €1.35m pre-seed funding round, which was co-led by Delta Partners and Act Venture Capital with participation from Enterprise Ireland.

Established in 2025 by Mark Harkin, Vox Talk builds and deploys AI operators for the alarm monitoring and CCTV industry, and has a client base across Europe and the US. 

The investment will go towards accelerating the commercial adoption of Vox Talk across several regions, the advancement of product development and growing its teams. The organisation is currently looking to recruit development engineers and forward deployed engineers.

Commenting on the announcement, Harkin, who is also the organisation’s CEO, said, “The appetite from customers has genuinely blown us away. In a short time, we are already seeing real, measurable impact – operators are saving significant time on every shift, response times are improving and customers are now speaking to our AI operators in their native language without a second thought. 

“That last point speaks to something bigger – this technology doesn’t just make alarm receiving centres more efficient, it makes them more accessible. The next chapter is computer vision. We’ve given the AI operator a brain to think, a mouth to talk and ears to listen, and now we’re giving it eyes to see. Our existing customers are already asking for it, and that tells us everything we need to know about where this industry is heading.”

Also this week, Y Combinator-backed and Irish-founded start-up Solidroad announced a $25m Series A round led by UK investment firm Hedosophia to help enable the start-up to expand its teams across Dublin and San Francisco.

Dublin start-up Audrey AI similarly announced the closure of a $1.8m pre-seed funding round yesterday (16 April), with the investment to fund growth across auditing and engineering, and expansion expected across Ireland and the UK.
