November 2026 from the inworld-tts listing's humans file (checked 30 October 2026), since the company is the same. Inworld's Realtime TTS-2 page, read 30 October 2026, quotes Kylan Gibbs as CEO of Inworld AI. Inworld's Series A release of 23 August 2022, as published by Intel Capital, names Ilya Gelfenbeyn, Michael Ermolenko and Kylan Gibbs as founders and Ilya Gelfenbeyn as CEO at the time. No about or team page was found in the inworld.ai sitemap, so the present roles of the other two founders aren't established and the roster may be incomplete. No personal accounts are linked from Inworld's pages, so none are listed. The 28 October 2026 Reasoning post is signed by the Inworld TTS team. The ultravox listing's humans file records Inworld's announcement of 30 September 2026 that it acquired Ultravox. Investors come from the Series A release as published by Intel Capital and from The SaaS News report of the August 2023 round led by Lightspeed. Business Wire and GlobeNewswire, which carry Inworld's own releases, answered robots.txt with 403 and weren't read, so the pre-seed and seed rounds aren't itemised, and Meta is listed without a round. GamesBeat's report of 2 August 2023, read on 6 November 2026, says the Lightspeed round brought the valuation to over $500 million and quotes Kylan Gibbs on over $100 million in total funding, so both are recorded as stated for that round; it also names the Disney Accelerator and NTT Docomo Ventures among investors to date. No later round was found on inworld.ai's sitemap or in a web search on 6 November 2026.", "companySocial": { "linkedin": "https://www.linkedin.com/company/inworld-ai", "x": "https://x.com/inworld",
