Avolta is pleased to have acted as financial advisor to AI Verse on its strategic fundraising. This transaction supports AI Verse’s ambition to democratise access to high performance training data for artificial intelligence and to accelerate the deployment of its proprietary synthetic data generation technology across strategic and safety critical industries.

About AI Verse.

Founded in 2020 and headquartered in Biot, AI Verse is a deeptech company specialising in the generation of synthetic datasets optimised for training computer vision models. Its proprietary technology enables the procedural creation of highly realistic and fully annotated image datasets, with pixel level precision and full control over scenes, objects and conditions.

AI Verse addresses critical data challenges faced by AI teams in sectors such as autonomous systems, robotics, defence, smart cities and industrial inspection, where real world data is scarce, costly or impossible to collect. Built on more than four years of R&D, the platform combines procedural 3D scene generation with scalable image production, delivered in SaaS or on premise to meet strict confidentiality, performance and security requirements.

The company is led by Benoît Morisset, PhD in AI and robotics and former Stanford researcher and Apple alumnus, alongside Arnauld Lamorlette, a recognised figure in the 3D industry and former technical supervisor at DreamWorks. Their complementary expertise enables AI Verse to bridge advanced AI research with industrial grade 3D technologies.

Transaction rationale.

This funding round brings together a strong group of institutional and long term investors to support AI Verse’s next phase of growth. The round is led by Supernova Invest, via its funds Crédit Agricole Innovations et Territoires (CAIT) and Amundi Avenir Innovation 3 (AAI4), alongside Creazur, and with the continued support of historical investors Innovacom – Turenne Groupe and Bpifrance, through its Digital Venture fund.

The transaction enables AI Verse to reinforce its technical, product and commercial teams, accelerate the rollout of its platform, and structure its international expansion across defence, robotics, industrial inspection and emerging AI driven applications.

AI Verse’s technology provides a concrete and scalable response to the growing shortage of high quality training data for computer vision models, particularly in complex, sensitive or confidential environments. By enabling the simulation of scenarios that are difficult or impossible to capture in the real world, the platform improves model robustness, reliability and performance while reducing time to deployment.

The involvement of leading deeptech investors, including Carole Cazassus, Investment Director at Supernova Invest, Alban Nénert, Investment Director at Innovacom – Turenne Groupe, and Bruno Villeneuve, Investment Director at Bpifrance Digital Venture, validates AI Verse’s technological leadership and long term vision at the intersection of artificial intelligence, computer vision and advanced 3D simulation. This support reinforces AI Verse’s positioning as a strategic partner for AI teams operating in mission critical environments.
