What is ElevenLabs' revenue?
About $600M in ARR, as of September and October 2026. ARR is a run rate (recent recurring revenue projected over a year), not audited annual revenue. The company said in its May 5, 2026 blog post that it had 530 employees. TechCrunch reported its backers value it at $22 billion (Sep 24, 2026).
How did ElevenLabs' revenue grow?
| When | Reported figure | Source |
|---|---|---|
| 2022 | Company started; first product launched in 2023 | CEO via Bloomberg, cited by TechCrunch, Jan 13, 2026 |
| ~20 months after launch | $100M ARR | Same (CEO) |
| 10 months later | $200M ARR | Same (CEO) |
| End of 2025 | $330M+ ARR | CEO via Bloomberg, cited by TechCrunch, Jan 13, 2026 |
| End of 2025 | $350M ARR | ElevenLabs blog, May 5, 2026 |
| Jan–Apr 2026 | Over $500M ARR | ElevenLabs blog, May 5, 2026 |
| Sep 2026 | $600M ARR, 55%+ from enterprise | CEO interview, TechCrunch, Sep 24, 2026 |
| Oct 2026 | Over $600M ARR; India is its #2 market | CEO to CNBC-TV18, Oct 6, 2026 |
The two end-of-2025 figures don't match: $330M+ (CEO to Bloomberg, January) vs $350M (company blog, May). We show both. All figures are company-reported run rates.
Each $100M step got faster: 20 months, then 10, then about five (per the CEO). In 2026 it added about $250M–$270M of ARR in roughly nine months (our calc. from the reported figures).
Who pays for ElevenLabs?
Businesses, more than creators. In September the CEO told TechCrunch that "fifty-five percent plus is classic enterprise", and that much of the rest is small businesses, developers, builders and creators. The company names customers like NVIDIA, Salesforce, Santander and Deutsche Telekom, mostly for voice agents in support and sales (company blog, May 2026). He told CNBC-TV18 in October that India is now its second-largest market after the US.
