I penned some thoughts on AI: all the *layers* where we're seeing innovation, and what kinds of businesses I expect to see built.
- Foundational models
- Specialised models
- Vertical use cases
- The orchestration layer
- Supporting tools and enablers

Synthesia just raised $90 million in Series C funding led by @Accel and with that… officially joined the unicorn club 🦄 🦄 🦄
Back in 2017, no one really understood our vision..
When @vriparbelli and @Stjerrild first used the term "generative video," people just didn't get it, and they even switched to "synthetic video" in their presentations 😅
Fast forward to 2023, it turns out that it was not about the terminology at all :)
💥 today, the generative AI landscape is booming
🎥 50,000 businesses using Synthesia
❤️ 200 employees
🦄 sustainable + growing business
At this point, we'd like to thank all our customers, investors, and supporters who have been with us on this incredible journey. 🙌
With the new funding, we will continue to revolutionize video production and push the boundaries of what's possible. 🤸
Stay tuned 😊
P.S. History is made by legendary teams, and we're building one here at Synthesia - take a look at our open positions and join the rocketship while it's taking off: synthesia.io/careers 🚀

Awesome to see @ElderHQ awarded Homecare company of the Year for the 2nd year in a row at @HealthInvestor Awards! 🏆 🏆 We’re just getting started but it’s great to see new care experiences built from the ground up get acknowledgment 👊
Such a privilege to have @christophmcghee talk about his learnings from positioning @HeyCurrent to win in the US market. So many UK healthcare startups find inspiration in his achievement.
Great evening speaking @MMC_Ventures about the @HeyCurrent journey! Wonderful to catch up with @bfmacfarlane. MMC is one of the best investors anywhere and they were a great supporter of Current Health.

The UK has many of the best universities in the world. Their potential to create startups is being undermined by unfair and erratic IP rules. I wrote an op-ed in today’s @thetimes thetimes.co.uk/article/the-r…
