Exclusive. The digital audio advertising platform Audion has just raised $15 million to structure the launch of its activities in the United States and accelerate the development of its proprietary technology, Audion AI.
With this new funding round, Audion aims to become an international leader in digital audio, building on its established positions in Europe – particularly in France, Italy, the United Kingdom, Germany, Belgium, and the Netherlands – and its upcoming expansion to the United States.
In this context, Audion co-founder Arthur Larrey will take over the operations of Audion in the United States to structure commercial and operational development there.
The company plans to recruit around ten expert profiles by the end of the year to support this strategic expansion.
Developing Audio AI
In addition to expanding Audion in the United States, this funding round aims to accelerate the development of its AI focused on audio performance.
In early 2026, the company launched Audion AI, a suite of AI agents dedicated to audio performance, designed to automate and optimize large-scale campaigns and maximize the business impact of brands and media agencies.
Thanks to specialized AI agents, Audion AI allows for qualifying and activating multimodal audiences, generating advertising spots via GenAI, and continuously optimizing campaigns to maximize brand ROI.
Third funding round
This funding round was completed with investments from Elevation Capital Partners, Founders Future, and Bpifrance, who are supporting Audion in this new phase of growth and internationalization.
Founded in 2018 by Arthur Larrey and Kamel El Hadef, Audion previously raised 1.1 million euros in 2019, followed by a second round of 6 million euros in 2022.
Audion currently serves over 1500 clients internationally.
