Its technology is utilized by management teams representing prominent musical artists, including Celine Dion, David Guetta, Aya Nakamura, and George Michael.

Claimy is a Paris-based technology company founded in 2023 that builds an AI-powered platform for music copyright management and royalty tracking. It serves music publishers, songwriters, labels, and rights-holders by solving the problem of missing or unclaimed royalties—estimated at over $1 billion annually in publishing alone—through automated auditing, claims generation, and revenue forecasting.[1][2][3][4] The platform cross-references data from collection societies like SACEM and PRS for Music, monitoring services, and client catalogs to detect discrepancies, track usage (including remixes and AI-generated content), and recover lost income. Currently managing €6 million ($7 million) in rights across 160,000 works, Claimy operates as a B2B SaaS model in France and the UK, with clients including the team representing Celine Dion, and reports growth like 20% revenue increases for users.[2][3][4][5]
Claimy was founded in September 2023 by Pierre-Alban Mulliez (CEO), Gustave Larrouturou, and Guillaume de Lavenère, all based in Paris, France.[1][3] Mulliez presented the concept at the Wallifornia music-tech conference, highlighting the need for better royalty recovery amid outdated infrastructure at collecting societies and data gaps in the music ecosystem.[2] Incubated at Agoranov and HEC Incubator at Station F, with a partnership at Telecom Paris’ Listen Lab, the company quickly gained traction: it raised €1.5 million ($1.8 million) in pre-seed funding in 2024 from music-tech investors like Jean-Baptiste Hironde (MWM CEO), Flavien Kulawik, and Julien Codorniou (20VC, ex-Facebook), plus public financing.[2][3][4] This early capital fueled product development amid rising concerns over unclaimed "black box" royalties and AI's impact on rights ownership.[3]
Claimy rides the AI-for-music-rights trend, addressing systemic inefficiencies in royalty collection exacerbated by fragmented data, "black box" allocations, and AI-generated content that complicates ownership tracking.[2][3][4] Timing is ideal amid industry estimates of $1B+ in uncollected publishing royalties yearly and legal disputes over misallocations, with competitors like Kobalt and Songtrust integrating AI but facing scale challenges.[2][4] Market forces favoring Claimy include Europe's strong data-protection laws enabling compliant AI, growing music streaming revenues, and demand for transparency as creators push back against AI exploitation of works.[3][4] By automating recovery at scale, Claimy influences the ecosystem, empowering independents, reducing admin burdens, and potentially pressuring collecting societies to modernize—positioning it as a key player in a $30B+ global music rights market.[2][4]
Claimy is poised for rapid expansion beyond France and the UK into the US, Germany, Japan, Korea, and Australia, using its €1.5M funding to enhance AI, grow the team, and secure more clients amid booming music royalties from streaming.[3][4] Trends like AI content proliferation and real-time data mandates will amplify its edge, potentially capturing a slice of the massive unclaimed royalties pool while differentiating via transformed-content detection.[2][4] Its influence could evolve from niche disruptor to global standard-setter, humanizing opaque rights management and ensuring creators capture fair value in an AI-driven music future—unlocking Claimy's full potential just as the industry demands it.[3][4]
