Fish Audio, a startup developing AI voice models for creators and enterprises, has raised a $52 million seed round. Since launching last year, the company says more than 8 million people use either the open-source or hosted version of its models. It reports annual recurring revenue of $21 million.
Why it matters
The funding, user base, and revenue figures indicate demand for AI voice tools among both individual creators and enterprise customers, and the availability of open-source and hosted options points to a mixed distribution model.
Who should care
Creators and enterprises seeking AI voice models, as well as those following investment activity in AI audio startups, may find this development relevant.
