Accelerate Ventures is thrilled to announce its investment in Camb.AI, an AI-powered language translation service tackling one of the world’s most pressing challenges: accessible, high-quality translation in a globalised world.
The Problem: Bridging Linguistic Gaps
Over 50% of internet content is in English, leaving billions of people unable to access vital information. For creators and media organisations, delivering accurate, real-time translations is expensive, time-consuming, and often inaccurate. Camb.AI addresses this issue by making global communication seamless and accessible.
The Solution: Camb.AI’s Proprietary Technology
Camb.AI’s BOLI translation system and MARS voice emulator combine speed, accuracy, and scalability to set a new standard in AI translation. BOLI ensures rapid adaptability, while the sixth-generation MARS delivers hyper-realistic AI dubbing in over 150 languages. Their proprietary speech-to-speech model redefines the limits of translation, achieving unprecedented accuracy and efficiency.
Driving Growth in Sports Media
The global sports industry is a prime example of Camb.AI’s potential. With media rights valued at $60 billion in 2024, sports leagues are targeting both international and local fanbases, requiring localised, authentic commentary. Camb.AI proved its capabilities during the 2024 Australian Open, where its near real-time AI dubbing enabled live multilingual commentary.
Beyond Sports: Media and Live Interpretation
Camb.AI’s current impact extends to diverse industries, including film, music, and indigenous language preservation. We estimate the market for translation of tv shows and film is likely greater than $2bn. One of the larger markets that Camb.AI will be capable of entering soon is live interpretation. This multi-billion dollar market has many translation use cases in diplomacy, business conferences and live events. Looking ahead, use cases in fields such as tourism, where live translation has the potential to transform the experience, makes for an exciting future ahead for Camb.AI.

The Visionaries Behind Camb.AI
Camb.AI was founded by Akshat Prakash, a former Apple Siri engineer, and his father, Avneesh Prakash. Akshat’s vision was shaped by childhood frustrations with poorly dubbed content, leading to the creation of Camb.AI in 2022. Backed by a team of experts from top institutions and tech giants, the company is poised for explosive growth.
“Our technology transforms audio and video content,” says Avneesh. “We have the models and compute power to break linguistic barriers and deliver hyper-realistic experiences at scale.”
Why We’re Excited
Camb.AI isn’t just a language translation service—it’s a paradigm shift in global communication. By breaking down language barriers, Camb.AI empowers creators and industries to connect with audiences like never before. Their ability to provide accurate, scalable solutions opens doors for authentic, localised engagement, which is increasingly vital in a saturated entertainment market.
We’re especially excited by their application in sports commentary, a notoriously challenging field requiring emotional nuance and real-time accuracy. Camb.AI’s success here signals their potential to transform other demanding sectors.
Lucas Danson, CEO at Accelerate Ventures, commented: “This investment aligns with our belief in AI’s ability to address real-world challenges and create lasting value; improved localisation in sport will be met with AI solutions. Camb.AI’s innovations are redefining language translation, and we’re proud to be part of their journey.”
