Synthesia sells AI avatar video to enterprises — a $4B company built on training and comms, not cinematic generation.
Synthesia lets companies produce presenter-led video from text: pick an avatar, type a script, publish in dozens of languages, no camera crew. It sells to HR, learning, and comms teams — the company says most of the Fortune 100 are customers — and closed a $200 million Series E led by GV at a $4 billion valuation, with Nvidia's venture arm among the backers, on about $150 million in annual recurring revenue. The next act is agent-driven interactive training rather than passive video.
