Midjourney stock & equity tools

Midjourney is a generative artificial intelligence program and service created and hosted by the San Francisco–based "independent research lab" Midjourney, Inc. Midjourney generates images from natural language descriptions, called prompts, similar to OpenAI's DALL-E and Stability AI's Stable Diffusion. It is one of the technologies of the AI boom.

Founded in 2021 by Leap Motion co-founder David Holz, Midjourney runs lean from San Francisco and ships AI image and video generation through a Discord bot and web interface. The company has taken zero outside capital, stayed profitable, and reportedly cleared $200M in annual revenue with roughly 100 employees. V7 landed in April 2025 as a ground-up rebuild with sharper prompt adherence and better coherence, and the V1 video model followed in June 2025, putting Midjourney into direct competition with Runway, Pika, and Sora.
