Mirelo completes $41 million seed funding round, jointly led by a16z and Index Ventures, focusing on AI video and audio generation
AI Video and Audio Startup Mirelo Announces $41 Million Seed Round Funding, Led Jointly by Andreessen Horowitz (a16z) and Index Ventures, with Participation from Atlantic.vc and TriplePoint Capital. This round of financing will be used to accelerate the development of its video and gaming audio generation models and expand product and team scale.
The Mirelo team stated that the company was born out of a love for sound creation and a reflection on the current industry situation. In the context of generative AI driving significant reductions in video production costs and rapid expansion of content scale, audio has long been overlooked, becoming a critical bottleneck in the creative process. Although current video models are beginning to incorporate default audio, they still fall short in meeting professional needs in terms of emotional expression, narrative tension, and creative control.
