TLDR: Hive AI, a San Francisco-based software company specializing in AI-powered digital content moderation, is reportedly looking to raise $200 million in a new funding round, which could push its valuation to $4 billion.

San Francisco, CA – Hive AI, a prominent software company leveraging artificial intelligence for digital content moderation, is reportedly in pursuit of a significant funding injection. The company aims to raise $200 million in a new financing round, a move that could see its valuation soar to an impressive $4 billion. This development comes approximately two years after its last major funding event.
Hive AI, founded in 2013 by Dmitriy Karpman and Kevin Guo, has established itself as a critical player in the AI sector, providing cloud-based AI solutions that understand, search, and generate content. Its services are vital for identifying and blocking unwanted content across various platforms, with a client roster that includes industry giants like Visa, Netflix, and Reddit. The company currently employs between 251 and 500 individuals, as reported in February 2025.
The anticipated $4 billion valuation would mark a substantial increase from its previous valuation of $2 billion, achieved during its Series D funding round in April 2021. That round successfully raised $85 million and was led by Glynn Capital, with notable participation from investors such as General Catalyst, Tomales Bay Capital, Jericho Capital, Bain & Co., 8VC, and Visa Ventures.
Commenting on the company’s trajectory during the 2021 Series D round, Hive CEO and Co-founder Kevin Guo stated, “The full potential of enterprise automation goes far beyond the back office. We’ve entered a new era where deep learning models can make human-level intelligence scalable for an increased number of practical and high value automation use cases.” This vision continues to drive Hive AI’s expansion and its appeal to investors keen on the burgeoning AI market.
