About Chandra De Keyser
Chandra De Keyser is based in Palo Alto, California. He is Chairman & Co-Founder of MoodMe and founder and CEO of Voicera, which he started in 2022. Crunchbase lists him as the founder of 3 companies.
Voicera describes itself as an embedded AI data layer for trust and sincerity. Its Sincerity product analyzes facial, physical and vocal signals in video and audio to assess whether communication is sincere or deceptive. His Crunchbase bio puts the number of signals at 130+. MoodMe built augmented reality for brands including FIFA, Qatar Airways, Gucci and Guess.
Before founding companies he spent about two decades on international business development and growth at technology firms including Northrop Grumman, TRW Systems and Software AG, according to his bio and a startup directory profile. TheOrg lists a BSc in Engineering from Université libre de Bruxelles, an MSc in Software Engineering from the University of Padua and an MBA from PUC-Rio. His bio says he speaks 6 languages.
Crunchbase records 1 investment, 1 portfolio company, 0 lead investments and 0 exits. That investment is a seed round in MoodMe, the company he co-founded. The Crunchbase page dates it March 1, 2011, and the amount is not shown publicly.
We found no public record of him investing in other founders' companies. He has also not published a check size or a fund.
No outside AI investments are public. His AI work is operating work. He founded and runs Voicera, and MoodMe's product was computer vision and AR for faces. In a Silicon Luxembourg interview about the Sincerity launch, he said the company's ambition is to be the reference company for AI that reinforces trust in human communications.
He has not published a thesis, preferred stage, geography or check size. His public focus areas are emotion AI, video intelligence, and trust and authenticity tooling, as described in his bio. Founders working near those themes, or on international go-to-market, are the ones his experience most obviously overlaps with. This is an inference from his background and not a stated investing policy.
