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 🚀
