Aoden Teo is Co-Founder and CEO of Miso Labs, a Y Combinator-backed AI startup building the world's most emotive foundation models for voice.

Aoden studied Mathematics at Stanford University, where he developed a deep passion for AI and the future of human-computer interaction.

Aoden believes voice is the most natural interface for AI and that the next generation of AI interactions should not just be functional but genuinely human.

At Miso Labs, Aoden co-authored and led the release of MisoTTS, an 8-billion-parameter open-source text-to-speech model achieving state-of-the-art emotive speech generation with just 110ms latency.

The Miso One model launch went viral with over 312,000 views within hours, and its open-source weights on Hugging Face quickly attracted hundreds of stars and forks from the global developer community.
