Is a generative AI platform where users can create their own text-based chatbots and “AI girlfriends” worth more than $16 million? Investors in MyShell seem to think so, as the company just announced a $11 million pre-series A round from Dragonfly, Delphi Ventures, Bankless Ventures, Maven11 Capital, Nascent, Nomad Capital, OKX Ventures, following its $5.6 million pre-seed last year, bringing its total fundraise to $16.6 million to date.
With creators in Singapore and Tokyo, MyShell emerged from stealth last year, and is perhaps best known for its AI character and user-generated bot creation platform as well as its open-source voice cloning model OpenVoice, unveiled at the start of 2024.

Users can choose to chat in text, audio, or even animated video with bots created by MyShell’s developers, or by other users, or to make their own bot and choose the underlying AI model that powers its interactions.
In a video call interview with VentureBeat, MyShell CEO and co-founder Ethan Sun said, “the idea of starting MyShell is that we want to really push forward the open developments on various AI foundation models.”
