A generative audio startup run by people who came out of TikTok‘s AI and music divisions has raised $11 million to build models that write music and sound effects to match what happens on screen.

San Francisco-based Sonilo secured the round with B Capital leading and Redpoint also taking part. The money will pay for the computing power needed to scale its models. The company also plans to widen its footprint with creators and developer platforms and build out its music licensing business.
