About Krea:

At Krea, we're dedicated to making AI intuitive and controllable for creatives. Our mission is to build tools that empower human creativity, not replace it.

We're building better, smarter, and more controllable tools to harness this medium.

We’re backed by Bain Capital Ventures, A16Z, Abstract Ventures, Pebblebed and many others. If you're passionate about pushing the boundaries of AI and empowering human creativity, we'd love to hear from you.
