Congratulations to Synthesia On Their $90M Series C Led by Accel at a $1B Valuation

Synthesia, the market leader in AI video generation, announced their exciting $90 million Series C financing. The round is led by Philippe Botteri at Accel along with NVIDIA and existing investors. The company now officially hits unicorn status, and we are extremely proud of the brilliant co-founders, Victor Riparbelli, Steffen Tjerrild, Dr. Lourdes Agapito and Dr. Matthias Niessner, and the entire Synthesia team!

In April 2019, we led their Seed financing round when they were pre-product and pre-revenue. We met with 4 brilliant co-founders and were impressed with their big vision: to empower everyone to make video content without cameras, microphones, or studios. 

This milestone reinforces our belief in the transformative power of visual technologies and AI and their pivotal role in shaping the future. At LDV Capital, we are honored to have played a very small part in their incredible journey which continues to evolve every day.
