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 Victor and Steffen 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. See the comments below for more information and join the rocketship while it's taking off! 🚀

You deserve them all ❤️

Time to turn your old PPT into a nice, catchy video? Great, but before you start, make sure you avoid these 3 common mistakes:

#1 Placing just a talking head on the slide deck and call it good enough ❌

#2 Chopping up a deck into small videos without changing anything ❌

#3 Not reworking the content for its new context in video ❌

So - what should you do instead? 🤔

Visit the link below for a simple 5-step tutorial 👇

Biggest benefits of making training videos with Synthesia? We could talk about it for hours, but that would be boring - so we asked our users instead 👇

“our production time on e-learning has been cut in half”
“perfect way to start pushing out content fast”
“Synthesia makes edits 20x easier”

Not impressed? 🤨

The impact of your videos is determined by their quality, not their quantity. So before starting your next video project, consider these 5 things:

🤔 Who is this video for and what do you want them to do?
🎯 How do you make sure your point will come across?
🎨 How do your visuals support the script?
👀 How does the experience go beyond just watching?
👍 And after all, how do you know if your video is any good?

Tough questions, right?
