CARRBORO – Wouldn’t it be nice to have a voice assistant in your laboratory, as you were conducting research?

That’s the idea behind Carrboro startup LabVoice, which has raised $3 million in equity financing according to a recent securities filing.

The company, which notes on its LinkedIn page a belief that scientists “want to be safe, efficient, and most of all focus on the science,” raised its first round of financing from nine investors, according to the filing.

“No need to look away or take off your gloves while working in the lab and performing tasks like taking notes, working with software, or using instrumentation,” the company describes in its LinkedIn page.  “LabVoice gives you a common human-lab interaction, leaving your hands free while we handle the rest.”

According to the filing, the company will use the proceeds for working capital.

The company was named to the Triangle Tweener List for 2021, and earlier this year, released the third mobile version of its application.

It has 15 employees, according to the company’s LinkedIn page, and is led by CEO Frederic Bost, who signed the securities filing earlier this month.
