This accomplishment has raised its valuation to a staggering $500 million. The notable institutional investors supporting Krea include Bain Capital, a16z, and Abstract Ventures. This new capital infusion will help propel Krea’s AI-powered media generation to the next level. Most importantly, it will supercharge their video and image creation.
