We invested in Melius because of the product, the team's approach to distribution, and their taste.
What Melius Does
Joowon, Young, and Arnav are building an AI creative production platform for brands, agencies, and studios. Teams describe what they want in plain language. Melius handles model selection, prompting, and assembly to produce images and video that follow their brand guidelines.
Creative teams spend time choosing models, learning tools, and revising output to get an asset ready for a campaign. Melius brings those steps into one product so teams can produce and revise campaign assets in the same workspace.
Distribution and Taste
We follow the founders on social media, and they understand distribution. They know how to get people interested in the product and give them a reason to try it. That matters for a company selling to creative teams.
As generating images and video gets easier, creative teams still need judgment about composition, tone, and what belongs in a campaign. We see that taste in how the founders present Melius. It's part of why we backed them.
The Team
Joowon helped build Ramp's procure-to-pay business. Young was a Director of Engineering at Ramp and one of its most prolific code contributors. He also previously built and sold a company. Arnav brings operating and financial experience from Hg and Guggenheim.
Both of the people who managed Joowon at Ramp have since left to work for him. They know how he works and chose to build with him again.
