Synthesia snaps up $180M at a $2.1B valuation for its B2B AI video platform
As the world continues to work through how to handle the explosion of deepfake content online, it seems that not all AI-created videos are stirring
The startup plans to use the funding for hiring, particularly to expand in Asia Pacific – the bulk of Synthesia’s business today is in Europe and North America – and to continue evolving its products. For a little more fundraising context, it’s been about 18 months since Synthesia last disclosed funding: in June 2023, it closed a $90 million round on a $1 billion valuation with previous backers including Kleiner Perkins and Accel.
