Synthesia

At Synthesia, we envision a future where creating compelling video content is accessible to everyone, unbounded by the limitations of traditional filming equipment. Our mission is to radically transform the way ideas and knowledge are communicated by harnessing the power of advanced artificial intelligence to generate synthetic media at scale.

We are building the next generation of AI-driven video communication platforms that empower organizations to tell their stories, train their teams, and engage their audiences in entirely new ways. By pioneering photo-realistic avatars and multilingual voice synthesis, we unlock creative potential and efficiency for enterprises worldwide, eliminating barriers to video production.

Our commitment extends beyond innovation to responsible AI development, ensuring our technology is safe and ethical. We dedicate significant resources to AI ethics and safety, shaping a future where synthetic media drives meaningful connections and fosters trust across global communities.

We've been watching Synthesia for a while now, and honestly, what they've built feels like science fiction made real. This London-based company has cracked the code on something that seemed impossible just a few years ago: creating professional-quality videos without ever touching a camera.

The concept is brilliantly simple. You type text, pick an AI avatar, and boom—you've got a video with a digital presenter speaking your words in any of 140+ languages. No filming, no studio setup, no awkward retakes. It's the kind of tool that makes you wonder why we ever thought video production had to be so complicated.

Why Fortune 100 Companies Are All Over This

Here's what caught our attention: over 60% of Fortune 100 companies are already using Synthesia. That's not just early adoption—that's a full-blown enterprise revolution. We're talking about companies replacing entire video production workflows with AI avatars.

The use cases are pretty clever too. Training videos that used to take weeks to produce? Done in hours. Need to update compliance content across multiple languages? The AI handles localization instantly. It's solving real business pain points, not just creating flashy demos.

The Safety-First Approach That Actually Matters

What impressed us most wasn't the tech itself—it was how seriously Synthesia takes AI safety. They've got 10% of their entire team dedicated to ethics and safety protocols. In an industry where "move fast and break things" often wins, this feels refreshingly responsible.

They're not just slapping guardrails on afterward. The safety considerations are baked into how they build avatars, handle consent, and prevent misuse. It's the kind of approach that makes enterprise customers—and honestly, the rest of us—sleep better at night.

The $2.1 Billion Question

With their recent $180 million Series D and a valuation hitting $2.1 billion, Synthesia isn't just playing in the AI video space—they're defining it. The funding is fueling Synthesia 2.0, which adds features like an AI Video Assistant that can turn knowledge bases into videos automatically.

We've seen plenty of AI startups burn through cash without much to show for it. But Synthesia's got the customer traction, the technology depth, and most importantly, the enterprise trust that suggests this valuation might actually stick. When you've got over 60,000 customers and Fortune 100 adoption rates like theirs, the math starts making sense.
