Artificial intelligence startup Synthesia has raised $200M in a new Series E funding round, the company said on Monday.
Nvidia’s (NVDA) venture capital arm, Google’s (GOOG) (GOOGL) venture arm, and venture firm Kleiner Perkins are among the investors, Synthesia said in a post on X. Other investors include Accel, New Enterprise Associates, PSP Growth, Air Street Capital, and MMC Ventures.
The AI startup, which creates video generation tools for businesses, said the new funding values it at $4B. As part of the deal, Synthesia will allow employees to participate in a secondary share sale with the Nasdaq (NDAQ) at the aforementioned $4B valuation.
The U.K.-based company said it will use the funding “to build a category-defining company” for those in enterprise learning and development, knowledge sharing, product marketing, and sales.
“Synthesia was founded on two core beliefs: first, that AI will bring the cost of content creation down to zero. And secondly, that AI video provides a better, more engaging way for organizations to communicate and learn,” said Victor Riparbelli, Synthesia’s co-founder and CEO, in a statement. “This funding round is about scaling that vision. We see a rare convergence of two major shifts: a technology shift with AI agents becoming more capable, and a market shift where upskilling and internal knowledge sharing have become board-level priorities. We intend to build the defining company at that intersection, by combining our know-how in AI video with our ability to build and integrate AI technologies into products and services that solve real business needs.”
“Synthesia is a UK success story, creating new jobs and opportunities in this country,” the U.K.’s Chancellor of the Exchequer, Rachel Reeves, added. “It shows that by backing innovators to start, scale and stay in the UK through better access to finance and generous tax reliefs, we can turn the promise of AI into better-paid jobs and long-term growth across the UK.”
To date, Synthesia has raised $536M in funding.
