Gladia's exit to OVHcloud: Redefining Audio Intelligence for Enterprise

August 5, 2026

We're proud to have backed Gladia since its Series A, and to see the company reach this milestone: its acquisition by OVHcloud.

Founded in 2022 in Paris, Gladia has built real-time speech-to-text and audio-intelligence infrastructure across 100+ languages, serving more than 300,000 developers and 2,000 enterprise clients through its API. Within OVHcloud, the team and technology find a natural home in a leading European sovereign cloud and AI platform, with the scale and distribution to take the product further.

Getting there took relentless technical ambition and disciplined execution, and it has been a privilege to support Jean-Louis Quéguiner, Jonathan Soto and the team on the journey - alongside XAnge, XTX Markets, Sequoia Capital and New Wave.
