Bria lands new funding for AI models trained on licensed data


Bria, a startup offering AI image-generating models trained exclusively on licensed content, has closed a new fundraising round.

Adato tells TechCrunch that the 40-person company seeks to foster an “IP ecosystem” where businesses can access licensed images from media conglomerates for use in commercial creations, with “built-in compliance.” “While the sector faces headwinds from central tech company market maturation, macroeconomic pressures causing budget constraints, and oversaturation of basic AI wrapper applications, these factors strengthen Bria’s position.” While a growing number of ventures are trying to build businesses around licensed media generators, including Adobe, Spawning AI, and Shutterstock, Bria has managed to gain a foothold in the nascent market.
