Voice AI infrastructure startup HeyBreez secured an oversubscribed $2.5 million Seed round led by Lunara Partners to scale its production grade platform, which already handles over one million enterprise calls monthly.
HeyBreez (also referred to as Breez AI / HeyBreezAI) closed an oversubscribed $2.5 million Seed round in August 2026, led by Lunara Partners, with participation from Jabbar Group, DASH Ventures, and prominent founders plus strategic angel investors.
What is HeyBreez?
The company, founded in 2025 by Karim Malhas, is headquartered in Wilmington, Delaware. It positions itself as the “operational layer” for enterprise voice AI, handling the infrastructure and workflows around voice agents rather than just the conversational AI itself. This includes telephony, retries, callbacks, follow-up logic, branching journeys, integrations, multi agent orchestration, and production scale reliability.
Funding History and Use of Proceeds
- Pre Seed (January 2026): $1.3 million led by Wamda Capital, with DASH Ventures, FENA Holdings, and strategic angels. Total capital raised to date stands at approximately $3.8 million.
- Seed (August 2026): The $2.5 million round was oversubscribed and driven by market demand and rapid growth in call volumes rather than a purely staged timeline (roughly seven months after the Pre Seed).
Proceeds will strengthen platform infrastructure, accelerate product development, expand the team, and support sales growth across the Middle East, the Americas, Europe, and Asia-Pacific. The company targets enterprises, agencies/resellers, developers/self serve users, and regional AI companies embedding the technology.
HeyBreez reports processing more than one million calls per month, with individual client campaign dialing capacity reaching ~10,000 calls per day. It operates across MENA, Europe, the US, and Latin America, supporting multilingual workloads in sectors such as banking, healthcare, logistics, hospitality, and customer experience.
The core thesis is that most voice AI platforms solve “the conversation” (getting an agent to talk) but fail at the operational layer required for production reliability at scale, retries on missed calls, intelligent callbacks, post call workflows, low latency telephony, concurrency management, governance, and system integrations. HeyBreez unifies carrier connectivity, media delivery, AI models, and orchestration into a no code/visual platform that aims to move teams from demos to live operations quickly.
Key product capabilities highlighted include:
- Visual design of agent behavior, branching workflows, and multi agent systems.
- Real time low latency streaming, advanced turn taking, and production grade reliability.
- Function calling for actions (bookings, payments, CRM updates) inside conversations.
- Retrieval augmented generation and live system integrations.
- Post call operations (retries, callbacks, follow ups).
- Compliance features (SOC 2, HIPAA mentions on the site; data encryption and access controls).

Partnerships reinforce the go to market: Arabic.AI (language models covering Modern Standard Arabic and major dialects) and Xaia act as solutions/integration partners reselling into their enterprise bases. Early deployments with the Arabic.AI collaboration target contact centers, public services, financial services, healthcare, and government use cases, including natural Arabic-English code switching.
Lunara Partners (a multi stage firm focused on tech and tech enabled businesses, primarily in MENA) led the round. Co-founder and Managing Partner Said Murad emphasized that while many platforms address conversation quality, few solve the surrounding operations that determine production viability. He highlighted HeyBreez’s multi channel commercial model and alignment with rising demand for Arabic language and sovereign cloud voice AI as positioning it to become a core component of the global enterprise voice stack.
The raise occurs against a backdrop of voice AI reaching near human parity in speech capabilities, while enterprise infrastructure for reliable, scalable deployment lags. MENA serves as the commercial beachhead, supported by demand for Arabic voice automation and data residency/sovereign cloud requirements among GCC entities, while the architecture supports global deployment.
At roughly 12–13 employees (per available profiles around the time of the raise) and with demonstrated production volume shortly after founding, the round validates early product market fit in a competitive voice AI landscape. The multi sided customer model (direct enterprise, agency/reseller, developer, and embeddable regional AI partners) provides diversified distribution. Success will hinge on continued infrastructure reliability under growing load, expansion of language/dialect coverage and integrations, and converting inbound demand into sustained commercial scale across regions. The rapid progression from Pre Seed to Seed, tied explicitly to call volume growth and customer pull, underscores operational traction as the primary narrative of this financing.
