CEO/Co-founder @SynthesiaIO. Bringing the magic of video to all communication.
Big milestone for @synthesiaIO – we've raised $180M in Series D funding, led by NEA on a $2.1B valuation. Since 2017 we've built the market leading platform for enterprise AI video w/ millions of users, 60% of the F100 as customers and the world-leading AI avatars.
We hit our first $1M+ day at @synthesiaIO a few weeks ago. 5 years ago, we literally danced on the table when our first paying customer – a math professor – put down his credit card to pay $30 for the v1 (SS below). Time flies 🥹
Creator economy market isn't expanding because creators are spending more money on tools, it's because the TAM is getting bigger. UBS is using AI clones of analysts with the help of OpenAI and Synthesia to create TikTok videos cryptopolitan.com/ubs-ai-analyst…
Will your grandchildren will be the last generation to read and write? From hieroglyphics to keyboards, how we communicate keeps evolving. In my @TEDAI Vienna talk, I argue that text will give way to video and audio—once creation is as effortless. Full talk here:…
It is time to restart Europe’s innovation engine. We have the slides. We have the talking points. Now, what matters is alignment and stakeholder engagement. Less talk, more deregulation pls!
It is time to restart Europe’s innovation engine. We have the Compass. We have the political will. Now, what matters is speed and unity. Because the world is not waiting for us ↓
Most of the EU is busy regulating and designing plastic bottle caps 🥱 Meanwhile this is our new emotion model for AI avatars. Can you even tell this isn’t a real video any longer?
Smart people talk about models and benchmarks. Customers talk about apps and workflows.
App layer is where most of the value is. Nothing has changed. Humans like a well designed focused UX that deeply solves a problem as a first class citizen, not a text box that tries to do everything.
I'm joining UK's finest @HarryStebbings from @twentyminutevc tomorrow for a chat about building in the UK, the AI landscape, Synthesia and why kids should play more computer games. Tune in, we may also drop some big news 👀
Few countries have any real shot at becoming an AI superpower. The UK is one of them. Great to see the the new administration leaning in and grateful for all the work @matthewclifford is doing to advance the ecosystem. Appreciate the Synthesia mention from @Keir_Starmer…
1/ Today the Prime Minister published my AI Opportunities Action Plan for the UK and committed to implement all its recommendations. A quick thread on why this is important, what we need to do now - and how you can help
🇪🇺 FULL PIECE: EUROPEAN AMBITION It was a dead thing. There is no other description for it: a building without a head. For fifty-six years, the people of Florence walked past a decapitated cathedral, the pre-dead corpse of Santa Maria Del Fiore. Since 1380, the city of…
It's a real honor to be included in the @TIME 's 100 AI list - and more than anything it's a testament all the amazing work my fellow Synthesian's have been doing the last couple of years. You rock 🫶
We just launched the world’s most realistic personal avatars 🥸 Bold claim, we get it. So we decided to put the tech to the test in front of a live audience of 4,000+ people. Instead of @vriparbelli (our human CEO), we placed his personal avatar to intro the event and say…
We just launched the world’s most realistic Personal Avatars at @synthesiaIO👇 Looks like you, sounds like you and speaks 29 languages fluently. Record in 5 min w/ webcam or smartphone – you can get creative! Check them out and try for yourself: synthesia.io/features/custo…
Our first speaker was @jnstrck, CTO at @synthesiaIO. While the team always had conviction the world was moving in a video-first direction, text-to-video barely existed as a research field, let alone a commercial proposition, when the company was founded in 2017.
I'll be on the @ClamanCountdown with @LizClaman to talk about Synthesia's new AI avatars and the platform we're building to help businesses transition to a video-first world. Join us today at 3.25pm ET on Fox Business!
