Helios Life Enterprises Closes $250K SAFE Round Investment

NEW YORK, February 2021 - Pioneer in voice-based tonal analysis, Helios Life Enterprises, today announced that the firm closed a $250,000 SAFE round investment. The round was led by several prominent New York angel investors and entrepreneurs in the Capital Region area.

Sean Austin, CEO, and Co-Founder, on what this investment means for Helios: "We're in the first inning of a journey that will transform how we think about voice interactions. This investment symbolizes the innate excitement and belief in our founding team to drive this vision forward. These investors are pioneers in their own right since it takes guts to put dollars in when others are more hesitant. We're going to ensure our shareholders actualize a massive win on their brazen investment."

With this infusion of funds, the Helios team will actualize continued product development for its one-of-a-kind products. Additionally, the team will look to acquire sales expertise for expansion into the quantitative investment market.  

The Helios suite goes beyond traditional text-based analysis entering into an entirely new realm – tone of voice.  Nearly 40% of human communication is inferred through tone of voice. So, it is not surprising that Helios’ advanced voice-processing AI technology has created a novel source of alpha proven to outpace the market. The tech behind Helios is led by the scientific mind – Dr. Gerwin Schalk – that helped invent the field of Brain Computer Interface. With the help of a talented group of experienced technologists, Helios is creating the most sophisticated tonal analysis ever seen.  

Helios strategic investor, partner, and Jahnel Group Founder and Chief Executive Officer – Darrin Jahil – shares: “I feel lucky to be part of this Helios fundraising round. In my role as advisor, I get a front-row seat to what the team is doing on a weekly basis and I couldn’t be more excited about their progress. For me, re-upping my investment a second time was a no-brainer because I see how fast they are moving. Helios is winning and this capital will help them keep their momentum. I’m fired up to be along for the ride!”

Helios is the first and only organization to create a successful data platform that delivers tonal analytics of executives’ voices during critical company events with proven results. This SAFE round investment is only the beginning as Helios looks to expand the capabilities of its groundbreaking alternative data offerings and expand its world-class team.
