Civit AI, Inc.

Civit AI, Inc. is an online platform and marketplace for generative AI content, founded in 2022 by Justin Maier and Maxfield Hulker and headquartered in Boise, Idaho. The company operates Civitai, a community-driven hub for sharing and discovering custom AI models, fine-tunes, LoRAs, and embeddings built primarily around Stable Diffusion and Flux image-generation frameworks.

The Civitai platform enables users to upload, share, and download AI model resources and hosts a gallery of AI-generated images and videos. It supports a virtual creator-incentive currency called Buzz and a developer API at developer.civitai.com. By April 2024, the platform had reached 23.2 million monthly accesses, making it one of the largest open-source repositories of generative AI models.

Civit AI, Inc. raised a $5.1 million Seed round in November 2023, led by Andreessen Horowitz. The company employs approximately 19 people and maintains an open-source codebase on GitHub. Its community spans AI artists, researchers, and model creators worldwide.
