Read AI Listed on LinkedIn’s 2025 Top Startups List

Read AI is proud to announce its inclusion on LinkedIn’s 2025 Top Startups List, ranking #6 on the Seattle list. 

Founded in 2021, Read AI is the fastest-growing meeting notetaker and AI assistant on the market, adding 1MM new customers every month and tripled the size of the team in the past year. This month, Read AI was also recognized as one of the leading AI companies by a16z and Mercury (Read AI is the only AI company based in Seattle on the list), and was anointed by OpenAI as one of the largest AI companies in the world.

The LinkedIn award honors the top startups based on four key areas: employee growth, jobseeker engagement, engagement within the company and its employees, and how well these startups have pulled talent from the best Top Companies and Large Workplaces. 

“Read AI's mission is to make every interaction better with AI,” says CEO and Co-Founder David Shim. “We’re proud to be part of Seattle’s thriving startup community and proud to call Seattle our headquarters. We’re constantly learning as we build out the storage of intelligence, and excited to make Seattle not only a hub for startups, but one for AI.”  

“We set out to solve real problems with AI, making work simpler, smarter, and more connected. I’m excited for what’s next as we continue to push the boundaries of what technology can do for people,” says CTO and Co-Founder Rob Williams. 

“This recognition is a validation of our belief that AI can unlock the full potential of organizational knowledge. We’re passionate about turning complex data into actionable insights that help teams thrive. I’m grateful to our colleagues and the Seattle community for supporting our journey,” says VP Data Science and Co-Founder Elliott Waldron.
