These two founders left Goldman and Meta to build voice AI for markets everyone else overlooked

# Two former finance and tech executives launched a voice AI company targeting Africa and the Middle East, regions where other AI companies haven't focused much attention. Their technology now handles over 17,000 phone calls daily in these markets, suggesting there's strong demand for AI tools in places that typically get overlooked by Silicon Valley. The move highlights how AI opportunities exist beyond the usual tech hubs, especially where traditional services are less available.
