In October 2026 42CAP led a €7.7 million seed round for Deepslate, a voice AI company in Berlin, Germany, according to Tech.eu. Deepslate builds its own speech-to-speech models, which process spoken language directly instead of turning it into text first.
The company focuses on European languages and hosts its technology entirely within the EU. It plans to use the money to improve its models, expand its European training data, and scale its infrastructure across European data centers.
