NightCafe: The Quiet Giant of AI Art Generation

NightCafe, an AI art platform, was founded by Angus and Elle Russell. Initially, the platform focused on selling AI-generated art prints, but it failed to gain traction. However, when Angus introduced a credit system for generating images, NightCafe became profitable. Elle joined the company to manage its business operations. The platform gained significant popularity in 2021 following the release of OpenAI`s DALL-E, which inspired the development of open-source image generation models. Today, NightCafe boasts over 25 million users who have created almost a billion images.
