Discovering hidden talents and turning them into globally successful authors

About us

We believe every author should have an equal opportunity to succeed. Therefore, our mission is to discover hidden talents and turn them into globally successful authors. Inkitt is a pioneer at the forefront of Data Driven Publishing. Using an analytic and objective approach, we’ve discovered hundreds of talented authors around the world with over 50% of our published authors achieving $100,000+ in sales. We have forever changed the traditional publishing model by inventing an algorithm which analyzes users' reading behavior to identify hits, in turn removing subjectivity from the equation. This gives Inkitt the unique ability to discover hidden talents that might otherwise have gone unnoticed. Hits that are identified by our algorithm, are then licensed to and distributed on our Galatea app where we systematically generate blockbusters by A/B testing the content of our stories. This process is our own unique creation, and something which has never before been done in the entertainment industry. At present, we are an international team of 85 passionate and dedicated inventors and entrepreneurs and we are growing quickly. We are proud that our mission has persuaded early investors in Google and Spotify to back us, as well as attracted talents from Netflix, Activision Blizzard, DeliveryHero, Babbel, and N26 to join us. We invent new solutions to problems we encounter, as opposed to simply iterating upon existing solutions. Join us to build the Disney of the 21st Century!

    Exciting news! Galatea’s groundbreaking ‘Create Your Own Fan Fiction’ AI feature is here and is revolutionizing the fan fiction landscape. 🚀 This new Ethical AI feature allows readers to create a personalized fan fiction based upon their preferences while ensuring that authors of the original works earn royalties. This marks a significant shift in the fan fiction ecosystem, where historically, authors have not been able to profit from the extensive fan-created content inspired by their work. With the implementation of this new Ethical AI feature, Inkitt has developed a system that fairly compensates original creators for every piece of AI-generated fan fiction based on their intellectual property. This innovation fosters a collaborative and mutually beneficial relationship between artificial intelligence and the writing community. At Inkitt, we're committed to developing Ethical AI features that empower authors and respects their creative rights. Our 'Create Your Own Fan Fiction' feature opens up a new revenue stream for writers, allowing them to benefit from the enthusiasm of their fan base in a way that wasn't possible before. The new feature enables readers to select a fictional universe from Galatea's collection of popular stories, specify characters, and choose additional reading elements. The AI then generates a one-chapter short story based on these preferences, offering a unique and personalized reading experience that builds upon the author's original work! Ready to experience the magic of 'Create Your Own Fan Fiction'? Download the Galatea app from the App Store or Google Play Store today. Together, let's reshape the future of storytelling! 📚✨ 🍎 https://lnkd.in/eYxx2vGE 🤖 https://lnkd.in/eU6VmDrx #Inkitt #Galatea #AI #FanFiction #Authors #Innovation #Storytelling #TechRevolution #NewRelease

    Vinod is by far the smartest deep tech investor I've ever met, and we're super excited to partner with him and the Khosla Ventures team to build the Disney of the 21st Century! This is a tribute to the Inkitt team's phenomenal work last year. In 2024 we’re reaching new heights with 50+ series launching on GalateaTV, Print Books, AI Hyper-Personalized Content and much more. I want to give a huge thanks to Scott Sandell, Ilya Fushman, Oliver Holle and Harald Nieder for their tremendous contributions in this round and their continued trust! I feel very lucky to have you on our board. Your undying loyal support means the world to me! https://lnkd.in/gWhjXqVy New Enterprise Associates (NEA), Kleiner Perkins, Speedinvest, Redalpine

    Happy 11th birthday to us! 🥳 The past 11 years have been a dynamic journey marked by pioneering, creativity, entrepreneurial spirit, and pushing boundaries. Here's to many more years of building the most innovative company in the #entertainment industry. 🚀

    CEO at Inkitt - Discovering & Launching Blockbusters at Scale

    Today marks Inkitt’s 11th anniversary and 11 incredible years of building the most data and AI-driven company in the #entertainment industry. 🎉 Inkitt’s journey began in 2013 in my Berlin dorm room as a tiny hobby project. When I wrote that first line of code, I never expected it to set me on a path where I’ve had the opportunity to work alongside so many amazing people, building a life-changing platform. Since then, we’ve become the 13th most-hit-creating publisher in the world, and created the 32nd most-selling book in the world (just a few places behind Barack Obama’s memoir “A Promised Land”). We invented a process of using #data and #AI to identify the best books on Inkitt and further optimize the storylines to turn every story we publish into a blockbuster. 1 in 5 books we touch becomes a bestseller; this is 20x higher than other publishers. As a result, 150 titles in our catalog are certified bestsellers. To successfully be in business for 11 years is no small feat and is a huge testament to the talent that every Inker has brought. I have so much gratitude for everyone who made this possible. Thank you to each and every Inker, writer, and reader who has been part of our incredible journey, and to our investors and advisors who have cheered us along the way. To the next 11 years! 🚀 #WeAreInkitt

    2023... what a ride! From new, #AI powered initiatives to being ranked the #1 fastest-growing company in Germany in the Financial Times #FT1000 list, we sure have accomplished so much in a year. Cheers to a prosperous and successful 2024 for Inkitt! And to our Inkers, we'd be nowhere without each and every one of you!🚀

    CEO at Inkitt - Discovering & Launching Blockbusters at Scale

    Spent the last week of 2023 reflecting on the entire year. It’s been filled with so many proud achievements and has been a year of massive growth for Inkitt. I could share a laundry list of things to celebrate, but here are a few standouts: Ranked the #1 fastest-growing company in Germany in the Financial Times #FT1000 list. 🚀 We dove head first into #AI and shipped so many AI-powered features— the first ever Choose Your Own Narrator audiobook feature, Character chatbot, Graphic Novels, paragraph recap, troll prevention, and others. Celebrated a whopping 133 Galatea authors whose stories reached bestseller status. 🤩 Entered the show business with the launch of our very own streaming platform, GalateaTV, and signed Entertainment 360 to represent us. 🎬 Sold hundreds of premium, collectors edition books on Kickstarter. 📚 I’m so proud to be working alongside such a passionate team. Can’t wait to see what 2024 has in store for us!
