Oriane raised $1.5 million to build a video-first Internet AI-powered search engine. The round was led by Clint Capital and was joined by Hartman Capital, Secways, Archipelago Next, and strategic angels from Google, PayPal, Sony, and Jellysmack.
Video dominates online traffic, and the short form format drives the best engagement and ROI. However, clips are often remixed and re-uploaded without attribution, creating a gap between brand, creator and IP owner visibility and rights management.
Released in 2025, Oriane addresses this with a multimodal video search engine that makes millions of videos searchable across the platform. The technology analyzes visuals, audio, voice, facials, and trademarks beyond metadata to identify ways of reusing content and express insights about virality, engagement, and emotions.
The system is designed to index and analyze large volumes of videos in seconds, reducing computational costs and enabling scalable monitoring.
The Semantic Internet is now searchable on Google. But today, 90% of the internet is video and remains a black box with some titles and captions attached. Oriane fixes that by visualizing and controlling how the story spreads to brands and creators.
said Julien Rosilio, CEO and co-founder of Oriane.
Oriane was founded by Julien Rosilio (Ex-Dressx) and Yuri Mihaileanu (Ex-Jellysmack) to address the difficulty that brands and creators face in finding, tracking and understanding videos that shape online culture. Industry estimates that global losses from online copyright infringement of film and television content total tens of thousands of dollars a year.
Already used by major companies, Oriane operates throughout the US, London, Paris and Barcelona. The new funds will be used to further develop the AI-driven search engine for the video-first internet company.
