Mati Staniszewski possesses a highly rigorous, deeply analytical background in advanced mathematics and big data deployment. Honed precisely during his intense tenure as a Deployment Strategist at Palantir Technologies, this elite corporate background navigating highly complex algorithmic deployments provided the exact operational blueprint required to aggressively scale ElevenLabs' massive global software infrastructure.

Mati Staniszewski is a brilliant Polish-born tech entrepreneur and the co-founder and CEO of ElevenLabs, the massive artificial intelligence voice research company. Growing up near Warsaw, he moved to the UK to study mathematics at Imperial College London. Before diving into generative AI, Staniszewski worked as a Deployment Strategist for Palantir Technologies. Frustrated by the incredibly poor, monotonous voice dubbing of foreign films in Poland, he partnered with his high school friend Piotr Dąbkowski in 2022 to launch ElevenLabs. By pooling their personal savings, they built advanced deep-learning speech synthesis software that fundamentally revolutionized AI voice generation. Under his massive executive leadership, ElevenLabs exploded in popularity, achieving an astonishing $11 billion valuation by early 2026.
