Overview
Synthesia lets companies produce videos with AI-generated presenters (avatars) and voices from a script, and is used mainly for training and internal communications. On 26 January 2026 it raised US$200 million in a Series E at a US$4 billion valuation, led by GV (Google Ventures) with Evantic and Hedosophia[53]. The company, headquartered in London, says it is used by more than 90% of the Fortune 100 and has more than 2 million users[53]. Synthesia has not disclosed revenue. Its use of digital likenesses of real people requires consent and moderation controls, which limit what customers can produce. General-purpose video models from large labs are a competitive threat to its avatar-based product.
