Fish Audio raises $50M seed to build AI voice models for creators and enterprises

Fish Audio, a company that creates artificial intelligence voice models, raised $50 million in funding to expand its technology for both individual creators and large organizations. The startup offers over 15,000 natural language controls to make AI voices more expressive for creative projects and more controllable for enterprise uses like customer support. Fish Audio has grown to 8 million users since launching last year and generates $21 million in annual recurring revenue, competing in a crowded market that includes other voice AI companies. The company previously faced concerns about creators' voices being uploaded without consent, but has since automated its takedown process to remove disputed voices in under 3 minutes.
