Replai offers a video-based creative insights platform that blends custom computer vision and AI to auto-tag visual elements, measure tailored events, and deliver on-the-fly recommendations to improve video performance. Its platform links video elements to real-time data to explain why specific videos perform or underperform and recommends alternative visual elements tailored to audience segments. Replai serves brands and mobile apps across industries that rely on video, and partners with large global customers. The company has processed more than $2.5 billion in video spend through its platform. Replai will use the new funding to expand its product suite, hire talent, and accelerate growth across the U.S. and Europe while expanding its global footprint. Founded in 2019, Replai is based in San Francisco with offices in London and Porto. Replai, founded in 2019 by João Costa and Francisco Pacheco in Porto, uses AI to automate creation of short-video highlights from livestream esports competitions. The platform assembles highlights and produces custom clips tailored to each social network to maximize reach. Replai’s technology is positioned to help publishers, promoters and advertisers generate audience growth and revenue from sponsors. The company raised €1.2 million in seed funding to accelerate that mission. Proceeds will be used for business development, team growth, and international expansion with the UK and US as priorities. Investors praised the scalable AI technology and the founders’ track record in user acquisition and technical know-how.
