Venice AI becomes a unicorn with a 65 million dollar Series A

A privacy-first AI platform clearing 70 million dollars in annualized revenue is a useful data point against the assumption that people only care about data privacy in the abstract, not with their wallets. Backing from crypto-adjacent investors like Coinbase Ventures suggests some of the same people who bet on decentralization are now betting that privacy is a real AI product category, not just a marketing angle. Worth watching whether mainstream AI vendors start offering their own privacy tiers once a challenger like this proves the demand is real money, not just sentiment.
