Arcads.ai Raises 16 Million USD in Seed Funding to Accelerate Development in the United States
The funding will propel the already profitable company to expand their reach
beyond their existing 6000+ clients
San Francisco, CA - December 17, 2025 - Arcads.ai, the go-to platform for creating high-performing marketing videos with AI, today announced a round of 16 million dollars in Seed funding led by Eurazeo, with participation from Alpha Intelligence Capital and other international investors including the Sequoia Scout program.
Founded in 2024 by Dylan Fournier and Romain Torres, Arcads.ai is an AI platform that enables marketing teams to produce social-ready videos in minutes: The platform supports multiple high-performing formats — UGC-style AI actors, product demos, fashion try-on videos and unboxing content — available in more than 35 languages. Arcads.ai is now used by thousands of companies worldwide, from app studios and consumer brands to marketing agencies and individual founders.
Marketing used to be about buying advertisements in media outlets, or building signage and developing banners. Today, marketing videos are connecting humans to brands in the blink of an eye. Arcads.ai is helping brands win attention online and find new customers.
An entrepreneurial story born from a frontline need
Before Arcads.ai, the two founders had launched a marketing agency, then a mobile app studio that generated several successes. With each launch, the same challenge arose: producing thousands of videos for social media in ultra-competitive environments, without resources comparable to large marketing teams.
Experiencing this structural pain point firsthand led Fournier and Torres to develop Arcads.ai. Within a few months and with a team of seven people, the company has already demonstrated rapid execution and strong traction with over 6,000 clients and 100,000 assets per month. Their mission remains the same: to make fast, scalable, and quality video production accessible, whether it's for a studio generating millions of dollars or creators without a camera or internal resources.
Accelerating platform development and international presence
More than half of Arcads.ai users today come from the United States. This financing will allow the company to accelerate its growth by: the development of its platform, the broadening of its video generation capabilities, and by strengthening its international presence with an office in San Francisco.
“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. With Arcads.ai, we are making this process accessible, simple, and iterative: test, adjust, repeat,” said Dylan Fournier, co-founder & Co-CEO of Arcads.ai. He continued, “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.”
“In almost all the markets we follow, the battle is now played out in distribution, making one's brand and product known. Arcads.ai gives marketing teams a structural advantage in this competition for attention, and the international traction we are observing confirms it. We are happy to accompany Arcads.ai in this new stage,” added Thomas Turelier, Managing Director, Venture Digital, Eurazeo.
A rapidly transforming market
Video has become the central format of digital marketing, with sustained investment growth in the United States and Europe. In the U.S., digital video advertising spending reached nearly 63 billion dollars in 2024 and is expected to exceed 72 billion in 2025, driven by the massive use of short formats.
This dynamic requires organizations to produce more content, in more languages, and for more platforms, while quickly testing several variants. This volume is difficult to absorb via traditional production models and creates a structural need for automation.
AI applied to video production is gradually emerging as a direct answer: it allows for increasing the creation pace, reducing costs, and simplifying workflows. Arcads.ai is positioned precisely in this segment, with an operational platform adapted to the real uses of teams and creators, particularly in markets where the culture of test-and-learn is deeply rooted.
