MMITO
MITO is an AI-native video creation platform built for filmmakers, brands and creative teams, combining moodboards, storyboards, collaboration and an infinite browser-based canvas that orchestrates foundational AI video, image and audio models (Kling, VEO3, ElevenLabs) alongside professional editing tools. The company operates two arms: MITO Tools (the SaaS platform) and MITO Films, an AI audiovisual production studio that has delivered work for Movistar, Telefónica, Zara, Repsol and LAAGAM. It raised a $4.5M pre-seed in January 2026 led by Lightspeed Venture Partners (Paul Murphy), and is dual-headquartered in Madrid and San Francisco.
