voize Raises $50M Series A to Expand AI-Powered Nursing Documentation Platform

Berlin‑based AI startup voize has quickly emerged as a leading innovator in healthcare documentation technology, securing substantial funding to advance its mission of reducing administrative burdens for nurses and other care professionals. In November 2025, the company announced a $50 million Series A funding round designed to accelerate its expansion across Europe and into the United States while deepening adoption of its AI companion for nursing care.

The Series A round was led by Balderton Capital, a major European venture firm known for backing high-growth technology startups. Returning investors HV Capital, Redalpine, and Y Combinator also participated in the financing, underscoring continued confidence in voize’s growth trajectory and its potential to transform clinical workflows.

Founded in 2020 by twin brothers Fabio Schmidberger (CEO) and Marcel Schmidberger (COO) along with Erik Ziegler (CTO), voize initially raised a $9 million seed round earlier in 2025, led by HV Capital with participation from Y Combinator, Redalpine, and HPI Ventures. That seed funding supported development of its AI-powered speech recognition technology and expansion into hospital settings beyond long-term care facilities.

voize’s platform tackles a long-standing challenge in healthcare: the heavy administrative load placed on nurses. By using proprietary AI models purpose-built for nursing documentation, the technology listens to natural speech during care and automatically generates structured, accurate documentation entries. This reduces time spent on paperwork by up to 30% per shift, enabling nurses to devote significantly more time to direct patient care. The voice AI is tailored to understand complex medical terminology, regional dialects, and non-native speakers, and is capable of running securely on smartphones even without constant internet connectivity.

At the time of its Series A raise, voize was already deployed in over 1,100 care facilities across Germany and Austria, with more than 75,000 nurses using the AI companion to streamline documentation workflows and reduce administrative stress. Some facilities have even featured the technology in recruitment efforts, highlighting its impact on staff satisfaction and retention.

The $50 million in new capital will be used to scale operations geographically, build local teams in key markets, and further develop the underlying AI technology. voize plans to tailor its platform to meet the specific regulatory and workflow requirements of U.S. healthcare systems while continuing to strengthen its footprint in European markets where nursing shortages and administrative burdens remain pressing issues.

voize’s rapid expansion reflects broader industry trends in healthcare technology, where AI solutions are increasingly seen as a critical tool to improve efficiency and care quality. The global nursing shortage — with millions of roles unfilled and administrative work consuming a significant portion of clinical time — has created a fertile environment for technologies that can demonstrably reduce paperwork and enhance patient-facing time. voize’s approach addresses that challenge head-on by embedding AI into the natural workflow of care professionals rather than requiring them to adapt to new documentation software.

Early adopters of voize have reported improvements well beyond reduced documentation time, including better integration with existing Electronic Health Records systems and more timely, accurate capture of patient data. This has positioned voize not only as a tool for efficiency but also as a contributor to improved clinical data quality, which can support broader operational goals such as patient safety, compliance, and overall care delivery performance.

voize’s founders have consistently framed the company’s mission around a deeply human insight: that nurses enter healthcare to care for people but are often driven away from the profession due to administrative overload. By deploying AI that listens and assists rather than replaces human interaction, voize aims to restore time and focus to frontline caregivers — a value proposition that resonates strongly in an industry under strain.

With significant funding secured and a growing global footprint, voize is poised to expand its influence in healthcare markets worldwide, helping hospitals and care facilities alike reduce administrative burdens, improve clinician satisfaction, and ultimately enhance the quality of patient care.
