Retail investors can now buy in via Robinhood Ventures as the company closes a second $100M tender offer.

ElevenLabs has crossed **$500 million** in annual recurring revenue in the first four months of 2026, up from $350 million at the end of 2025. The growth is driven by enterprises deploying voice agents for customer support, sales, hiring and marketing.
