Bland AI

Bland AI is an enterprise-grade conversational phone agent platform that enables companies to automate inbound and outbound call workflows using AI agents that sound and behave like human representatives. Founded in 2023 by Isaiah Granet and Sobhan Nejad, Bland has raised $65 million total across three rounds, including a $40 million Series B in early 2025 led by Emergence Capital and a $16 million Series A led by Scale Venture Partners with backing from Y Combinator, Max Levchin (PayPal founder), Jeff Lawson (Twilio founder), and Piotr Dabkowski (ElevenLabs CTO).

The platform went from pre-seed to Series B in under 10 months, reflecting exceptional enterprise demand. Bland provides programmable voice agents with customizable voices, real-time data extraction, seamless CRM integrations, and full developer control via code execution nodes, custom logic trees, knowledge base scraping, and voice cloning.

It handles inbound call qualification, appointment setting, customer support escalation, debt collection, and outbound campaign automation. Enterprise clients across healthcare, financial services, real estate, and e-commerce use Bland to replace legacy IVR systems and reduce call center headcount.

Pricing starts at $0.09 per minute with additional costs for voice cloning and enterprise SLA tiers. Rosie AI, the leading AI receptionist for home-services SMBs, is an exclusive Bland partner for voice quality.

Bland is used by Fortune 500 companies requiring secure, scalable, HIPAA-capable telephony automation.
