Arcads.ai Secures $16M Seed Funding To Expand AI Video Creation Platform
French AI video platform Arcads.ai has raised $16 million in seed funding to expand its AI-powered marketing video creation platform. European investment group Eurazeo led the round, with participation from Alpha Intelligence Capital and the Sequoia Scout program.
Arcads.ai enables marketing teams to produce social media videos using AI-generated actors. The platform supports multiple content formats, including UGC-style (User-Generated Content) videos, product demonstrations, fashion try-on content, and unboxing videos. The service operates in more than 35 languages.
The company, founded in 2024 by Dylan Fournier and Romain Torres, operates a business with more than 6,000 clients worldwide. The platform generates approximately 100,000 video assets per month.
Current users include app studios, consumer brands, marketing agencies, and individual founders. More than half of the company’s user base comes from the United States.
Founder Background
Fournier and Torres previously operated a marketing agency and a mobile app studio before launching Arcads.ai. The founders developed the platform to address video production challenges they encountered while launching products in competitive social media environments.
“We created Arcads.ai to break down the barriers that exist when marketing teams need to quickly and affordably create the many videos needed to promote a product. We, ourselves, experienced this difficulty for years,” said Fournier, who serves as co-founder and co-CEO.
The company currently operates with a team of seven people.
Expansion Plans
The new funding will support platform development, expansion of video generation capabilities, and establishment of a San Francisco office to strengthen the company’s U.S. presence.
“With Arcads.ai, we are making this process accessible, simple, and iterative: test, adjust, repeat,” Fournier said. “The results already speak for themselves, we’re already profitable, and this funding will give us the means to accelerate our development and support the growth of our user base, particularly in the United States.”
Thomas Turelier, managing director of Venture Digital at Eurazeo, commented on the investment: “Arcads.ai gives marketing teams a structural advantage in this competition for attention, and the international traction we are observing confirms it.”
