BROADCAST
SUBJ: CEO Listing Day Interview: SoundHound (Nasdaq: SOUN)
Hi XX,
SoundHound, a global leader in voice artificial intelligence, is anticipating to list as “SOUN” on Nasdaq promptly following the company’s SPAC merger completion with Archimedes Tech SPAC Partners Co., expected to occur on or about April 26th , subject to approval by Archimedes’ stockholders. SoundHound enables businesses like Hyundai, Mercedes-Benz, Stellantis, Snap, and Pandora to integrate conversational experiences into their products and services. I am reaching out to offer SHOW/OUTLET an interview with SoundHound Co-founder and CEO, Keyvan Mohajer, for their listing day.
According to Statista, voice assistants are forecasted to exceed the number of humans on earth at 8.4 billion by 2024, and the global voice recognition and voice commerce markets are expected to reach $160+ billion by 2026. SoundHound aims to capture a significant share of this market opportunity with its large ecosystem of voice assistants in cars, apps, and devices, as well as its three-pillar business model of voice platform royalties, subscription services like food ordering, and monetization opportunities that connect its ecosystem with its services.
SoundHound’s advanced conversational AI solutions deliver unprecedented speed and accuracy through proprietary technology that combines the traditional two-step speech recognition process into a single step. Its Speech-to-Meaning® and Deep Meaning Understanding® technologies allow users to speak as though they are talking to another human, combining requests and asking follow-on questions without needing to repeat information.
In a market where SPAC mergers have had challenges, SoundHound was able to receive commitments for a significant PIPE of $113M. With its customers, deep technology advantage, and diversified business model, the company is entering the public markets with tremendous growth opportunities.
Keyvan is available to discuss the company’s evolution, its technology, and the company growth plans following their listing day as they look to capitalize on the market opportunity. He can also speak to:
| ● | The rapid adoption and usage of voice AI and possibilities for new use cases |
| ● | How monetization will change the game for conversational AI |
| ● | How SoundHound enables brands and customers to maintain transparency of user data, unlike Big Tech enabled assistants |
| ● | How voice AI is helping to solve the labor shortage across industries such as hospitality, retail and healthcare |
| ● | How voice AI enables business to create unique customer experiences and boost customer satisfaction |
Please let me know if you’re interested in having Keyvan on as a guest and booking an interview. Happy to coordinate logistics –
