Helix accurately detect bots and predict age using voice samples in under four seconds

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Helix, a voice-powered human verification platform, today announced it has raised $6.2 million in funding and is now live with its first partners. Helix offers biometric-based identity and age verification in under four seconds, with no data ever leaving the user's phone. The round was led by Chicago Ventures, with participation from BAM Ventures, Aglaé Ventures, Corazon Capital, Tusk Ventures, Yonder Ventures, Rule30, Press On Ventures, and Brown Angel Group.

"We built Helix to restore trust in every digital interaction. Right now, consumers are scared of having their personal information stolen online, while platforms fight a losing battle against AI to prove whether an account is a real adult or a synthetic agent," said Alex Oberg, CEO and co-founder of Helix. "The traditional approach has been to collect reams of sensitive data, ranging from uploaded driver's licenses to video selfies, which is both cumbersome for customers and puts their privacy at risk. Helix solves these problems by using voice to verify identity and doing so entirely on-device.

"We've spent years teaching machines to understand words. Helix is teaching them to understand the person speaking — and to do it in a way people can trust," said Dag Kittlaus, cofounder and CEO of Siri, cofounder and CEO of Viv.

The Problem Helix is Built to Solve: According to Cloudflare, bots now make up more than 57% of all web traffic. As agents have increased, so too have stories of agents acting without human authorization, from hacking critical websites to accessing customer bank accounts. Generative AI has increased the frequency and sophistication of romance scams, identity theft, and underage access to age-restricted platforms, with generative AI-enabled fraud costing U.S. companies more than $40 billion by 2027.
