    Moonvalley raises $84m for licensed AI video

    • Moonvalley adds $84m; total funding reaches about $154m.
    • Investors include CoreWeave, Khosla Ventures and Y Combinator.

    What happened: Funding and model launch

    Moonvalley funding; AI video tools said it raised $84m in additional funding led by General Catalyst, taking total capital raised to roughly $154m, a week after releasing its first licensed AI video model for professional production.

    The round included strategic participation from CoreWeave, alongside existing backers Khosla Ventures and Y Combinator; the company plans to use the funds to meet enterprise demand and add requested features. Visual-effects veteran Ed Ulbrich recently joined as head of strategic growth and partnerships, signalling a tighter push into Hollywood workflows.

    Why it’s important

    Studios are exploring generative tools to speed up production and cut costs, even as lawsuits target unlicensed training data. Moonvalley’s “licensed-only” stance aims to reduce legal exposure and make AI safer to deploy on set. Still, a narrower training corpus could limit range and style diversity, and compute costs remain a practical hurdle.

    The raise lands amid a broader rebound in AI-driven venture funding in the U.S., underlining investors’ appetite for production-grade models with clearer rights frameworks. Whether these tools augment creatives—or quietly replace parts of the pipeline—will depend on contract terms and how transparently vendors prove their data provenance.
