We believe that the growing penetration of AI into hardware of all types must be accompanied by easy human interaction, especially as the hardware is performing increasingly sophisticated tasks. This is true for cars, electronics, robots and all other manner of machines. While some of these machines will perform tasks autonomously, many will be human-assisted or human-in-the-loop, enabled by speech. Kardome’s spatial hearing technology dramatically improves voice AI performance in noisy or complex auditory environments.

Unlike traditional voice recognition systems, Kardome’s solution ensures consistently clear and accurate input, even in high-noise settings. This makes it indispensable for applications involving hands-free communication or voice authentication.

The technology has already been deployed in key sectors such as automotive and consumer electronics, demonstrating both its versatility and market readiness. As voice AI becomes more pervasive, the demand for high-quality voice interaction will only increase, creating a strong growth tailwind for Kardome. We view the company as highly scalable, with opportunities to expand across a wide range of industries and use cases.

Kardome’s recent expansion into the Korean market, supported by the opening of a new office in Seoul, reflects its global ambitions. With our fund’s presence in both Israel and South Korea, we are uniquely positioned to help the company navigate and benefit from these complementary innovation ecosystems. We’re excited by Kardome’s momentum and look forward to supporting the team through the next stages of growth.
