London-based AI video search and analytics firm Oriane has raised $1.5 million in funding and will join LVMH’s “La Maison des Startups” accelerator this fall, as Vestbee was told.
- Launched in 2025 by Julien Rosilio and Yuri Mihaileanu, Oriane develops an AI-powered search engine for videos across the internet. The platform indexes content from sites such as TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, and Facebook, analyzing visuals, audio, speech, faces, and trademarks rather than relying solely on metadata.
- Its multimodal AI enables searches by text, image, or video, allowing users to locate content even when tags, captions, or hashtags are missing.
- The system also tracks how videos spread, identifies reposts or unauthorized use, and provides structured data on engagement, sentiment, and trends. Oriane offers programmatic access via an API, allowing developers to integrate video search and analytics into applications or workflows.
Details of the deal
- The funding round was led by Paris-based VC firm Clint Capital, with participation from Hartmann Capital, Secways, and Archipelago Next. Oriane also received backing from strategic angel investors connected to Google, PayPal, Sony, and Jellysmack.
“The next breakthrough, in our view, is the ability to extract, understand, track, and reuse existing sequences, while respecting rights. That is precisely Oriane’s promise: to become the go-to search engine for video, powering rightsholders’ creative circularity. This is why the FPCI Blueberry is investing in this U.S. company, led by a world-class executive team," explains Lucas Mesquita, Managing Partner at Clint Capital.
- Oriane plans to use the $1.5 million funding to develop its multimodal AI technology for analyzing videos across platforms like YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, and Snapchat.
- The investment will also support tools that give brands and IP owners visibility and control over how their content is shared, while expanding the company’s presence in the US, London, Paris, and Barcelona.
