SUMMARY
- Paris-based Moments Lab, a company using AI to improve video discovery, has raised €21 million in funding to expand into the US and boost its research and development efforts, especially around its MXT-2 multimodal AI.
The round included existing investors Supernova Invest and Elaia Partners, along with new backers Oxx, Orange Ventures, and Kadmos.
Moments Lab Co-founder and CEO Philippe Petitpont said,“Bringing efficiency to organisations working with video was just the beginning. With MXT, we can parse video at scale with unmatched speed. Now we are focused on what humans can’t do— like generate rough cuts in minutes with a simple prompt.”
The platform uses MXT Multimodal AI to describe video scenes in natural language, making it easy to find important moments fast. This helps content creators spend less time searching and more time on storytelling and creative work.

Today, Moments Lab is used around the world by TV networks, production companies, sports rights holders, and brands to simplify content creation, manage live recordings, clip key moments, research story ideas, and showcase or license their content.
Petitpont continued: “Enabling teams to drill down from thousands of hours of video and glean insights about a specific topic in just seconds creates enormous value. This $24 million investment will accelerate the rollout of our agentic AI technology, which sets a new standard for intelligent video discovery. We’re excited to partner with our new investors Oxx, Orange Ventures and Kadmos, and are grateful for the continued support from Supernova Invest and Elaia Partners.”
Moments Lab has doubled its recurring revenue in the past year and is on track for strong growth through 2025. New clients include Thomson Reuters, Sinclair, Hearst, Amazon Ads, and Banijay.
Gökçe Ceylan, Principal at Oxx commented, “Moments Lab is one of those rare companies where the product actually feels like magic. The first time we saw MXT in action—pulling insights from hours of raw video in seconds—we knew this team was solving a problem that’s only getting bigger. Philippe and Frederic have built a world-class AI engine and surrounded it with the kind of product DNA and customer empathy that gives them a serious edge. This blend makes Moments Lab a perfect example of the kind of company and people we like to partner with, and we’re excited to welcome them into the Oxx family.”
MXT multimodal AI quickly breaks down videos into meaningful scenes, identifying who’s in them, what’s happening, where it’s happening, and even the type of camera shots used. It can also pick out the best soundbites from interviews, speeches, or press conferences—faster and more accurately than a person could.
What sets MXT apart from other AI indexing tools is its flexibility. It can be tailored to detect specific people, brand logos, content types, or key moments at scale, and even adapt its output to match a company’s tone of voice.
Moments Lab Co-founder and CTO Fred Petitpont added,“Quality indexing metadata is the foundation of a valuable AI agent user experience, and that’s exactly what we’re providing to our clients with MXT and our AI agent, which has exceeded expectations in its closed beta launch. Some users tell us it’s like having an additional team member!”
