Startup Helix raises $6M for on-device voice verification tech
Helix, founded in 2025 by Alex Oberg, Anna Dorofiyenko, and Mike Hall, has raised $6 million led by Chicago Ventures to build voice-based identity verification technology. The system runs locally on a user's device and can determine whether a speaker is human and estimate their age, and Siri co-founder Dag Kittlaus has invested and joined as an advisor.
