HeyBreez Raises $2.5M as Voice AI Calls Top 1 Million a Month

Amman-founded HeyBreez has closed a $2.5 million seed round led by Lunara Partners, arriving as the startup's voice AI platform crosses one million calls processed per month. The round was oversubscribed, drawing additional backing from Jabbar Group, DASH Ventures, and a mix of founders and angel investors.

Founded in 2025 by Karim Malhas, previously chief innovation officer at Amman-based biometrics firm IrisGuard, HeyBreez builds what it calls an operational layer for enterprise voice AI. Rather than the conversational model itself, the platform handles the mechanics around it: retries, callbacks, follow-up logic, branching call journeys, telephony connections, and system integrations.

That infrastructure supports multilingual voice workloads for clients in banking, healthcare, logistics, hospitality, and customer experience. For campaign-style dialling, individual HeyBreez clients can now push out 10,000 calls a day through the platform.

The company sells across four distinct customer segments: large enterprises that get dedicated support, agencies and resellers, self-serve developers and small businesses, and regional AI companies that embed HeyBreez's infrastructure into their own products. Two of those resellers, Arabic.ai and Xaia, are already signed on to distribute the platform to their own enterprise bases.

A Second Raise in Under a Year

The seed round follows a $1.3 million pre-seed raise led by Wamda Capital in January 2025, putting HeyBreez's total disclosed funding at roughly $3.8 million within its first year of operation. Some coverage has referenced the two rounds somewhat loosely, but the sequence is clear: pre-seed first, then a larger, oversubscribed seed eight to nine months later.

Lunara Partners, which led the new round, was co-founded by Said Murad, a former senior partner at Global Ventures, alongside Omar Alkhawaja. Their involvement adds a regional venture pedigree to a startup that has structured itself as a global operation from the outset: HeyBreez is legally headquartered in Delaware, with operating offices in Amman and Dubai.

Proceeds from the new round are earmarked for platform infrastructure, product development, and sales hiring across the Americas, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and the Middle East. That geographic spread suggests HeyBreez is positioning itself less as a regional voice AI vendor and more as infrastructure meant to sit underneath other companies' voice products worldwide, a bet that will be tested as call volumes and enterprise contracts scale beyond the current one-million-a-month mark.
