Kive offers an intuitive cloud-based visual library built for creatives and creative teams, using AI to automatically tag and match assets across subjects, lighting, moods, faces, emotions and thousands of other concepts. The product supports still images, video, and illustrations and creates self-organising visual libraries that improve discovery and collaboration. Kive says its current archive is around 16 terabytes and it reports strong engagement metrics among users. The platform is trusted by award-winning creative teams at companies such as 72andSunny and B-Reel Films across 70 countries and has a waitlist of roughly 10,000. Founder and CEO Olof Lindh frames the mission as making creative life better from inspiration to presentation and says recent AI advances open further opportunity. The company plans to use its new funding to hire top-level engineering, product, and design talent. Kive builds a cloud-first, tool-agnostic platform that enables creatives to collect and manage visual assets in a self-organising library powered by machine learning. Its AI automatically categorises assets by styles, environments, objects, lighting, actions, faces, shot types, time of day and emotional states. The platform functions as a meta-layer for assets from multiple sources, enabling easy sharing and serving as a portfolio and presentation tool while connecting to social platforms. Originally conceived in 2018 by CEO and founder Olof Lindh, Kive targets filmmakers, designers, photographers, architects, fashion stylists, publishers and e-commerce brands. The company plans to deploy funding to strengthen its team across Europe and iterate on product. Kive is cloud-first and available everywhere.
