We’re excited to share that Created by Humans just closed a $5.5 million seed round led by Giant Ventures, with support from Uncommon Capital, Emmett Shear (Twitch), Cal Henderson (Slack), Kyle Vogt (Cruise), Drew Houston (Dropbox), and Cameron Yarbrough (Torch). This follows our $5 million pre-seed round led by Craft Ventures and Floodgate. This is a huge step forward in our mission to help authors and publishers keep control of their work while giving AI developers a clear, legal way to access high-quality content.
“Created by Humans is a perfect example of the right founders, the right team, and the right problem space converging at exactly the right time,” said Jon Dishotsky, Partner at Giant Ventures. “We are proud to be an early supporter of Created by Humans as they bring together the creative and AI industries during a critical moment.”
We’ll use this funding to improve our product, grow our partnerships, and explore new verticals to ensure creators of all sizes can benefit from AI. Since launch, we’ve earned support from the Authors Guild and 100+ bestselling authors like Walter Isaacson, Douglas Preston, Susan Orlean, James Patterson, and Sylvia Day.
We’re grateful for the support of our investors and our growing community of authors, publishers, and AI partners. If you want to learn more or get involved, shoot us an email at hi@createdbyhumans.ai. We’re excited about what’s ahead and can’t wait to keep building a future where creators and AI work together in a fair, open, and rewarding way.
