Animaj Joins Google’s AI Futures Fund

Animaj has received backing from Google’s AI Futures Fund and will receive early access to Google’s most advanced generative AI models and direct collaboration with teams across Google to create content for YouTube.

“This partnership marks a key milestone in our mission to build a next-generation media company—one where AI, creativity, and IP ownership reinforce each other,” said Sixte de Vauplane, CEO of Animaj. “With Google’s support, we’re accelerating our ability to create premium kids’ content faster, smarter and more responsibly.”

Animaj already produces full episodes from concept to YouTube release in under five weeks. The company reaches 242 million unique monthly viewers on YouTube and uses that real-time data to inform what it creates next, then expands IPs into streaming, licensing and beyond.

“Animaj exemplifies how AI can empower creators,” said Jonathan Silber, co-founder and director of Google’s AI Futures Fund. “Their AI-native approach shows how advanced technology can strengthen creative ambition, brand safety and IP ownership. It’s a compelling blueprint for the future of kids and family entertainment.”
