A sound simulation solution tipped for use in applications from homes to concert venues has been given a major boost after its creator, Treble Technologies, raised €11m in a Series A funding round.
Treble Technologies was founded to change how sound is understood, modelled and shaped in different environments and describes itself as a next-generation sound simulation and synthetic audio data generation technology company.
One of the company’s backers is L-Acoustics who appears in a list of participants led by Kompas VC, an early-stage VC firm focused on the built environment. Other supporters include Iceland’s leading venture capital firm Frumtak Ventures, the European Investment Bank, Omega Venture Partners, and strategic partners St. Gobain, as well as experienced angel investors.
The investment will be used for staffing, R&D, enterprise client development and expansion into new markets.
Treble was founded in 2020 by acoustic engineers Dr Finnur Pind and Jesper Pedersen. After nearly a decade of researching sound simulation technology, the team launched the Treble platform in 2023, a cloud-based sound simulation and synthetic audio data generation platform. Powered by the company’s proprietary simulation technology, which it claims is more than 100 times faster than existing sound simulation solutions, it enables a wide range of industries to bring down costs and realise better sounding environments, products and services. Treble is already being used by some of the largest and most prestigious companies in the world within tech, buildings, audio and automotive.
Dr Finnur Pind, founder & CEO, Treble said: “The world could sound so much better than it currently does. Our mission at Treble is to provide the software tools necessary to make the world a better sounding and less noisy place. This, in turn, will significantly improve health, well-being and productivity across the globe, and enhance people’s abilities to connect with one another. This Series A funding marks a significant moment for Treble, affirming our role as leading innovators within the audio space. Together with our partners and customers, we're now set to expand our impact, bringing superior audio solutions to users everywhere as we develop the future of sound, create more resonant spaces and deeper audio engagements.”
Commenting on the investment, Sebastian Peck, partner, Kompas, added: “Our investment in Treble reflects our commitment to creating a built environment that is both healthy and sustainable. We firmly believe Treble is leading the way to a better-sounding world with its innovative technology which opens up a whole new way of prototyping and testing products. There is a very large addressable market and I’m excited to see Treble and their phenomenal team continue to make waves.”
