Overview

Venice offers access to more than 200 AI models—both hosted open-source models in its own data centers and routed closed-source models—while emphasizing user privacy through client-side encryption, external proxy routing, and optional end-to-end encryption for subscribers. Two years after launch the company reports over 3 million active users, more than 850,000 unique website visitors, and roughly 1.7 million API calls per day. Venice runs an “uncensored” experience with customizable AI characters and supports text, image, audio, and video generation, and it has issued two crypto tokens, VVV and DIEM, with about 8% of users paying with crypto. The company is already profitable with annualized run-rate revenues above $70 million. Management plans to use new funding to acquire GPUs and build its own data centers to cease GPU leasing and improve gross margins.
