Munch, a leading AI-powered automation platform for social media, announced their $7.2 million seed funding round. The round was led by A* Capital, supported by Liquid2 and Pre-Seed investors Cardumen Capital and Remagine Ventures. The investment will be focused toward company growth, increasing its reach into new global markets and expanding its offering to enterprises.

Munch’s AI driven platform turns long-form marketing content into engaging and impactful clips for social media usage. It includes automatic editing, instant and precise subtitle generation, pre-scripted social media posts formulated through advanced AI technology and caters to a multilingual audience supporting over 20 different languages. Content is clipped and adjusted to always have the action at the center of the frame no matter what social media platform it will be shared on. This approach ensures a global reach for businesses looking to amplify the impact of social media strategy.
