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

Fish Audio, a Palo Alto-based AI startup, raised a $50 million seed round to boost its voice generation tech for creators and companies. The funding was led by Coreline Ventures and Capital Today, with more backing from 359 Capital and Play Time. Fish Audio's voice models are already powering things like AI avatars at HeyGen and organizations like Sanas. CEO Rissa Cao says they're rolling out new models soon, including tools for audio understanding and speech-to-speech, while making it easier to handle copyright complaints.
