Certified Problem Solver

Murf.ai is a well-established, Series A funded SaaS platform (raised ~$11.5M) offering high-quality AI text-to-speech solutions. While the project itself demonstrates high real-world utility, strong market timing, and significant user adoption (millions of monthly visitors), the specific submission provided was of low quality, containing hyperbolic claims ('most people have used my product') and missing data ('null' revenue). The score reflects the strong underlying business fundamentals and verified external traction, penalized slightly by the lack of effort in the submission data.

Description
Murf AI is working on simplifying voice audio and making high-quality voice overs accessible to everyone, using artificial intelligence. Murf helps users create lifelike voice overs in a matter of minutes, without the need for any recording equipment.\n\nFounded by alumnus of IIT Kharagpur, we are an early-stage funded start-up serving customers in 100+ countries. We like to stay informal, structurally flat and fun to work with. We love our customers, and obsess about their needs round the clock. If that sounds like a mix you would fit into, we would love to know you better.
