Sylvester Stallone invests in film and TV AI platform Largo.ai

The financing was co-led by TI Capital and QBIT Capital with additional participation from Atreides Management, DAA Capital as well as Stallone, who joins as a strategic investor. Thomas Tippl, former Vice Chairman and COO of Activision Blizzard, also contributed to the round.

Largo.ai has trained its AI models on over 400,000 films and TV series, analysing cinematographic patterns, audience behaviours, and script structures to help content development.

Largo.ai said the investment will help to accelerate its growth and expand its AI-driven content tools, which are currently used by over 600 companies, including major Hollywood studios and agencies. The company plans to launch an update to its platform which will provide predictive analytics and early-stage creative concept generation, allowing users to visualise content before production.

Largo.ai is also expanding into advertising with Brands Suite, an AI-powered tool designed to optimise marketing campaigns. The suite includes the Simulated Focus Group, a tool that enables advertisers to test concepts with AI-generated digital twins of real consumers, reducing the time and costs associated with traditional focus groups.

“When we founded Largo.ai in 2020, AI was mostly confined to large streaming platforms,” said Sami Arpa, CEO and Co-founder. “Today, AI adoption is accelerating across industries. With this investment, we can push the boundaries of AI integration in filmmaking and advertising.”

Largo operates from Lausanne in Switzerland and has offices in Los Angeles, London, and Istanbul.
