This is where I'd work if I wanted to get rich. Episode 9, 11 Labs. 11 Labs is the voice AI platform behind every voice clone creator, dubbed film, and audio product on Earth. They just closed a $300 million Tinder offer at a $22 billion valuation,
and their valuation doubled in just eight months. If I had to start over today, I'd be interviewing Mayor right now. Common 11 Labs, and I'll send you their hiring page. 11 Labs has become the default voice layer for the internet. Spotify dubs podcasts with them. HarperCollins turns audiobooks over to them.
Deutsch Telecom runs customer support on them. Revolution, Square, the Ukrainian government. They power dubbing in 32 languages. Instant voice cloning in under a minute. Real-time conversational voice agents. And this is important. Audio is the fastest growing content category in tech.
Podcasts, audiobooks, short-form video narration, voice agents. Every one of them needs infrastructure, and 11 Labs owns all of it. Now let's talk about the math. 11 Labs went from 3.3 billion in January of 2025 to 11 billion in February,
and 22 billion just earlier this week. That's 6.6x in 20 months. 500 million in annual recurring revenue, up from 330 million at the end of 2025 . And senior roles here walk in with 400k to 900k in equity,
plus 240k to 380k based salaries. Total comp around 600k to 1.3 million a year. If 11 Labs hits a $60 to $100 billion IPO in three years, realistic giving growth and category dominance, that equity grows roughly 3x to 4.5x.
And suddenly you're looking at 2 million to 6 million in equity gains over four years on top of a strong cash salary. Audio AI is still early, but 11 Labs owns the full layer. And this is one of the cleanest consumer plus enterprise bets in the market. Common 11 Labs and I'll send you their hiring page.
