Seventure backs Mediads’ €3M seed as it bets premium media trust can fix broken social ad performance

  • Paris-based Mediads raised €3 million from Seventure Partners, 404 Ventures
  • The platform lets brands run their existing social ads through premium media publishers, keeping the same creative, targeting, and tracking
  • Mediads has been self-funded and profitable since 2022

Mediads, a Paris-based startup, secured €3 million in seed funding from Seventure Partners, 404 Ventures, and business angels to accelerate its US expansion.

The company believes that trust in premium media, rather than better targeting or bigger budgets, is what most social advertisers are missing.

The French startup, founded in 2022 by Alfred Cardinal and Stéphane Labrouche, connects brands with top publishers to amplify social ads. Advertisers can use their existing Meta, TikTok, or LinkedIn campaigns without changing the creative, targeting, or measurement. Mediads sends these ads through its network of media partners, using their audience trust to improve results.
