The Voicing Startups Podcast exists to bring awareness to different companies and creators that are shaking up, redefining and reinventing industries through audio, voice or other conversational technology.
The world of voice and conversational tech is still in its early days in terms of mass market adoption. My hope is that through conversations with creators and entrepreneurs who are paving the way for where the industry will ultimately go we can help bring more awareness to voice as a whole for general culture, other entrepreneurs, and investors alike.
Overview
This week on the Voicing Startups podcast I am talking with Hugh, Co-Founder and CEO of Whispr. Whispr is a platform that is designed to deliver better information to workers and real-time data to managers so you can constantly improve frontline operations through the use of a voice-first experience.

Espressive with Pat - Ep. 30
Overview
This week on the Voicing Startups podcast I am talking with Pat, Founder and CEO of Espressive. Espressive redefines how employees get help by delivering exceptional employee experiences. This is accomplished through Barista, Espressive’s Virtual Support Agent (VSA), which brings the ease of consumer virtual assistants, like Alexa or Google Home, into the workplace. Recently, Espressive announced a $30M Series B investment round led by Insight Partners.
Interview
To start out the interview, we look at Pat’s background and ultimately how he came up with the idea for Espressive and the Barista VSA. Pat then goes on to describe what exactly a VSA is. Following this we start looking at Espressive’s Barista VSA and the problems they are trying to solve for their customers. To better understand these problems, Pat walks me through some different use cases across multiple industries including IT, HR, and Sales. As I mentioned, Espressive just closed a $30M Series B from Insight Partners, so we spent the rest of the interview discussing the plans with the raise amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. I hope you enjoy this week's episode of Voicing Startups!
