Bria Named To The 2025 CB Insights' List Of The 100 Most Innovative AI Startups

Bria recognized for achievements in Visual Generative AI

NEW YORK, April 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Bria, the enterprise visual gen AI platform built on 100% licensed data, announced today that is has been named by CB Insights to its ninth annual AI 100, showcasing the 100 most promising private artificial intelligence companies in the world.

Bria is creating a new IP ecosystem where businesses can access licensed IP content from media conglomerates and studios for use in commercial gen AI creations, with built-in compliance. Bria's Visual Generative AI platform empowers businesses to create predictable, controllable, and on-brand content that aligns with their visual language while supporting e-commerce use cases, identity preservation, and seamless content editing and fine-tuning.

Bria's Generative AI models are trained exclusively on licensed data, with built-in guardrails allowing enterprises to carve out the risks and barriers to Gen AI adoption and capitalize on infinite content creation. Bria's patented attribution engine bridges the generative output and the training dataset, so data owners are programmatically compensated according to their overall influence on each generated output.

In March 2025 Bria announced $40 million in Series B funding, bringing total capital raised to $65 million. In the past year, Bria has solidified its position as a Responsible leader in AI-generated visual content through strategic alliances with technology giants, including Nvidia, Microsoft, and AWS. It was named an AWS Design Partner of the Year.

"We are honored to be named as part of CB Insights AI 100 list alongside other trailblazing companies in the AI industry," said Dr. Yair Adato, CEO and founder of Bria. "This recognition is a testament to the incredible work of our team and our commitment to building responsible, cutting-edge AI solutions that empower creativity worldwide. As we continue to push the boundaries of innovation, we remain dedicated to shaping a future where AI amplifies human potential."

"The AI 100 winners are future movers and shakers, taking big swings that will shape the future of AI," said Manlio Carrelli, CEO at CB Insights. "This year's cohort is pushing AI applications from emerging to emerged, working on everything from AI agents for complex processes to security and robotics. They've also zeroed in on new and promising technologies that might not be on the radar of many enterprises — multi-agent systems, novel computing and data curation approaches, and physical AI."

The list recognizes early—and mid-stage startups that are leading the way in applying AI across industries and architectures. CB Insights research team picked winning companies based on their datasets, including deal activity, industry partnerships, team strength, investor strength, employee headcount, and proprietary Commercial Maturity and Mosaic scores.
