We’re excited to announce our investment in Moonvalley, a groundbreaking AI video model and creative studio built on a foundation of clean, fully licensed data sourced directly from creators.
Comcast Ventures assesses companies with advanced technologies that can strategically benefit different parts of our business. The future of content creation and generative AI’s impact on artistic expression are areas where we’ve actively sought out value-aligned startups that share our commitment to — and respect for — the creative community.
Moonvalley stands apart as a highly performant video model of leading scale and quality trained exclusively on licensed and owned data — a critical differentiator in both positioning and product offering.

Moonvalley was founded to enhance creative capacity by pairing a state-of-the-art video foundation model (called Marey) with professional-grade controls and seamless integration into existing filmmaking workflows. Importantly, since the company’s founding, Moonvalley has closely collaborated with the broader media and film industries, as evidenced by their acquisition of Asteria — an artist-led generative AI film and animation studio — to build and workshop its model.
Beyond Marey (which publicly launched last week!) and Moonvalley’s industries ties, the technology further distinguishes itself with sophisticated camera controls and customization features. Users can adjust detailed camera settings, control movement speed, and maintain consistent aesthetics across scenes.
We were immediately impressed by Moonvalley’s team of leading generative AI researchers and media innovators, many of whom bring years of experience at some of the world’s leading AI labs.
Moonvalley represents the state-of-the-art in generative video technology that will empower creatives across industries to push their visions further. At Comcast Ventures, we’re encouraged by this innovative technology that acknowledges, respects, and promotes the work of creative professionals.
