Fish Audio raises $50M seed to build AI voice models for creators and enterprises
Fish Audio says it is already at 8 million users and $21 million in ARR.
The Palo Alto startup raised a $52 million seed round led by Coreline Ventures and Capital Today. Its voice models are used through open source and hosted products, with the newest S2.1 Pro limited to a paid API. TechCrunch notes past creator complaints that voices were uploaded without consent; CEO Rissa Cao says takedowns are now automated and can remove a voice in under three minutes. The company plans audio understanding and speech-to-speech models next. TechCrunch AI's note
