Otter.ai Raises $320 Million From General Catalyst as User Base Reaches 40 Million

1 articles · Updated · TechCrunch · Oct 20

$320 million from General Catalyst’s Customer Value Fund will finance Otter.ai’s enterprise push, go-to-market expansion, international growth and product development without diluting equity.
40 million users have tried Otter to date, up from 25 million last year, after the company crossed $100 million in annual recurring revenue in 2025 and said it is nearing new milestones.
Otter is using the capital to deepen its meeting-workflow strategy, testing pre-briefs before meetings and a Live Assist feature that answers questions during calls using prior conversation context.
Competition remains intense as Fireflies.ai, Granola, Read AI, Calendly, Wispr and Superhuman-owned Fathom all chase enterprise customers, while Otter disclosed no monthly active user or churn figures.
