We rolled out over 50 major product updates, grew to over 20 million users organically, and 20x'd our revenue—all with a team of 8 working out of a living room in San Francisco, California.
The numbers are exciting, but they can miss something crucial: the team behind it all. Krea is the work of a small, talented group of imaginative, incredibly dedicated people—and yes, most of us still live together!
Until now, we've never shared metrics or announced our funding. We didn't even have a blog until a few hours ago. Those details always felt secondary compared to what truly matters: making AI intuitive and controllable for creatives.
Now, after the release of our redesign, the growth of our team, and our recent funding, it feels like the perfect time to open up about what inspires us and what we're building towards.
We're living through a moment where everyone talks about automation, APIs, and how AI and software are eating the world—perhaps too much. Don't get us wrong: while AI is powerful, transformative, and is going to radically change creative work, creatives aren't going anywhere.
