According to the report "Intelligence Emergence", the leadingAI image generation platform"LiblibAILibulibu AI" (abbreviated as "LiblibAI") has completed three rounds in the past yearFinancing, with a total amount of hundreds of millions of yuan, setting a record for the largest total financing in the domestic AI imaging track.
The three rounds of financing were respectively angel rounds led by Source Code Capital, Gaorong Ventures and GSR Ventures, the second round led by strategic investors, and the third round led by Vision Capital. Old shareholders continued to support the company in multiple rounds. Farsight Capital served as the exclusive financial advisor in multiple rounds of financing.
LiblibAI was founded in May 2023 and is one of the earliest AI image generation platforms in China. In just over a year, the platform has accumulated nearly 10 million professional AI image creators, more than 100,000 original models, and produced and shared more than 230 million AI images, showing an astonishing growth rate and market potential.
The company's head said that LiblibAI's rapid development is due to its clear product strategy and the establishment of a two-sided flywheel for creators. From the beginning, the company was positioned in the professional market and production end, providing creative materials and tools for designers and content creators. At the same time, by building a community that combines AI models and image generation creation, LiblibAI has successfully accumulated two types of creative users: model and image authors, forming a strong community ecology.
In terms of commercialization, LiblibAI adopts a two-way strategy for both C-end and B-end. The C-end mainly provides services through subscription membership, while the B-end has implemented application examples in e-commerce, design, games, cultural tourism, universities, training and other fields, showing broad business prospects.
However, the LiblibAI team also admitted that the biggest challenge currently faced is how to balance the development speed of advanced models with user needs, and to find a balance between different industries. The team emphasized the need to design products with AI-native thinking, while also recognizing that model evolution takes time and continuously iterating products.
LiblibAI's core team members come from well-known universities such as Tsinghua University, Peking University, and Carnegie Mellon University. They have rich backgrounds in the Internet and design industries, and many of them have entrepreneurial experience. This team combination provides strong support for the company's continuous innovation and development.
The completion of this round of financing not only marks LiblibAI's leading position in the field of AI image generation in China, but also reflects investors' optimism about the development prospects of this field. With the continuous advancement of AI technology, LiblibAI is expected to continue to expand its influence in the professional creation market, promote the application and innovation of AI image generation technology, and contribute to the development of China's AI industry.
