"Our $100M ARR milestone validates that businesses are ready to embrace AI agents that augment human intelligence in meaningful ways," said Sam Liang, co-founder and CEO of Otter.ai. "We're not just talking about the future of AI; we're building it, moving beyond theoretical discussions and delivering everyday tools that are already impacting over 35 million Otter users worldwide."

For the average Otter enterprise customer, the platform saves the equivalent of one full-time employee for every 20 users, delivering a 10:1 return on investment.
"The Otter.ai team is solving a critical enterprise problem: turning unstructured voice data into measurable business value," said Tim Draper, Founding Partner at Draper Associates and one of Otter's first investors. "When I back a company, I'm looking for real impact, real ROI, and real solutions - Otter delivers on all three, and we at Draper have been happy customers for 8 years."

Otter.ai expanded its global footprint throughout 2025, making it the go-to AI meeting agent for teams and businesses worldwide:
"Our mission is to empower businesses across the globe to unlock their unstructured voice data," said Liang. "Being one of the first and only companies to develop our AI language transcription capabilities in-house, we're able to provide unparalleled accuracy for complex languages and accents."

"We've built more than a meeting tool, we've built the corporate knowledge base that enterprises have been waiting for where every meeting, every conversation, every decision lives in a searchable, intelligent system that makes organizations smarter over time,” says Liang. “2025 was extraordinary but the best meetings haven't happened yet, the best ideas haven't been captured yet, the best version of work hasn't been built yet - we're just getting started."
