Spines, a Miami, FL-based AI publishing platform, raised $6.5M in Seed funding.
The round was led by Aleph with participation from previous investor M-Fund, best-selling “Startup Nation” Co-Author Dan Senor, and LionTree LLC.
The company intends to use the funds to enhance brand awareness, streamline the publishing process for even more authors, and continue improving the product itself.
Led by Yehuda Niv, CEO and founder, Spines is an AI-powered publishing platform simplifying the authorship journey. The system manages every aspect of the publishing process, from editing, proofreading, and formatting to cover design, distribution, and marketing. Authors need to upload their manuscripts, and within two weeks, they will be able to see their books published, optimized, and available to readers globally.
Spine’s AI, under the guidance of a production manager, undertakes a detailed editing process, designs the book art by creating 70+ formatted versions of the front, back, and spine for the author to choose from, and allows authors to decide when they would like to upgrade to a human at any part of the process. Spines also automates the metadata optimization process and lists the book across 100+ channels. After the book is live, the platform provides users additional options for AI-driven marketing features, royalty management, and distribution.
Last year, Spines published over 500 titles and plans to publish a total of 3,000 new titles by the end of this year.
