"British startup Synthesia, whose AI platform helps companies create interactive training videos, has raised a $200 million Series E round of funding that brings its valuation to $4 billion - up from $2.1 billion just a year ago. Unlike some other AI startups that are still a long way from turning a profit, Synthesia has found a lucrative business in transforming corporate training thanks to AI-generated avatars."
"The Series E that nearly doubled its valuation was led by existing investor GV (Google Ventures), with participation from several other previous backers - including Series B lead Kleiner Perkins, Series C lead Accel, Series D lead New Enterprise Associates (NEA), NVIDIA's venture capital arm NVentures, Air Street Capital, and PSP Growth. Aside from ongoing support, this round will bring both new and departing investors."
Synthesia raised a $200 million Series E that values the company at $4 billion, up from $2.1 billion a year earlier. The London-based startup uses AI-generated avatars to produce interactive corporate training videos and surpassed $100 million in annual recurring revenue (ARR) in April 2025. The funding round was led by GV with participation from Kleiner Perkins, Accel, NEA, NVentures, Air Street Capital, and PSP Growth. New investors Evantic and Hedosophia are joining while Synthesia will facilitate an employee secondary sale via Nasdaq as a private markets facilitator. All secondary sales will be tied to the $4 billion valuation and the company retains control over the process.
