business-postmortem
A startup attempted to build a licensed AI image generation marketplace (Tess.Design) that paid artists 50% royalties for fine-tuned models, but shut down after 20 months having generated only $12K in revenue against $18K in artist advances. The failure was driven by unresolved AI copyright litigation, lack of enterprise adoption due to legal uncertainty, and cultural hostility toward AI in the artist community.
