Jul 2025SeedGeneral Catalyst (lead); CoreWeave; Y Combinator; Comcast Ventures; Creative Artists Agency; Khosla Ventures$84MMoonvalley is a Toronto-based artificial intelligence research company developing foundational AI video models trained exclusively on licensed content. The company is led by CEO Naeem Talukdar and has built Marey, an AI video generation platform designed for professional filmmakers and brand studios, developed in collaboration with its in-house filmmaking unit Asteria. The platform offers customization options including fine-grained camera and motion controls, and can generate HD clips up to 30 seconds long. On July 14, 2025, Moonvalley raised an additional $84 million in a funding round led by returning investor General Catalyst, with participation from new investors Comcast Ventures, CoreWeave, and CAA Ventures, as well as returning investors Y Combinator and Khosla Ventures. This brought Moonvalley's total funding to $154 million. The company had previously raised $70 million in seed funding from backers including General Catalyst, Khosla Ventures, and Bessemer Venture Partners. Moonvalley's leadership team and staff include alumni from DeepMind, Meta, Microsoft, TikTok, Disney, and DreamWorks. As of the funding round, the company employed approximately 100 people across offices in Toronto and Los Angeles. The company plans to use the new funding to scale Marey by expanding its library of licensed training data, rolling out developer APIs, building enterprise and studio partner features, and recruiting top talent. In June 2025, Moonvalley appointed visual effects veteran Ed Ulbrich, known for work on Titanic and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, as head of strategic growth and partnerships. Moonvalley differentiates itself through a focus on legal and ethical AI video generation. The company commits to allowing creators to request removal of their content from its models, enabling customers to delete their data, and offering indemnity protection for users against copyright challenges. Unlike some competing video generation models, Moonvalley implements guardrails blocking certain content such as NSFW phrases and preventing generation of videos of specific people or celebrities without consent. This approach positions the company to capitalize on growing enterprise demand from studios and brands seeking controlled, quality-assured generative video tools.
