Summary

ElevenLabs has opened its European headquarters in London, designating it as a central hub for worldwide operations due to the city's cultural diversity, access to talent, and proximity to tech hubs. Founded by Mati Staniszewski and Piotr Dabkowski, who both studied in the UK, the company aims to leverage London's position as a leading AI research hub to further its mission of breaking down language and accessibility barriers in digital content. With over 20 employees already based in the city and plans to expand to 100, ElevenLabs remains a remote-first company with a global presence across 15 countries, while also opening physical hubs for those who prefer in-person work. The new office on Wardour Street will not only accommodate the team but also host an incubator space for startups incorporating AI audio into their work. The move is supported by London & Partners, which highlights London's favorable environment for AI development, and ElevenLabs plans to open additional hubs in New York and Warsaw to continue attracting top talent globally.
