Deepgram, a San Francisco, CA-based speech recognition platform for the enterprise, raised $12m in Series A funding.

The round was led by Wing VC, with participation from SAP.iO and Nvidia.

Along with the Series A, the company will announce two new features of its platform:

– On-Premises Deployment (provides a private, deployable instance of the platform for use cases involving confidential, regulated or otherwise sensitive audio data.)

Since going to market, Deepgram has amassed more than 30 customers across the call center, retail and tech industries.
