Nuance Labs raises a $50.0M Series A round

Nuance Labs is a Seattle AI research lab building a full-duplex audiovisual foundation model for human conversation.

Founded by former Apple PhD researchers Fangchang Ma (CEO), Edward Zhang (CTO) and Karren Yang (Chief Scientist), with Yaser Sheikh advising. Target uses are sales, customer service, coaching, professional training and education, with a research preview due later in 2026. The $50M Series A was led by returning investor Lightspeed Venture Partners, with Accel and South Park Commons also returning and NVIDIA and Define Ventures joining.
