Our take

Video is an integral part of companiesโ€™ marketing strategies, and the adoption of synthetic media has grown in popularity.ย As organisations are investing in videos, startups are building platforms to support the process.ย Synthesiaย is an AI-powered video generation platform that saves enterprises up to 100x the cost and time of producing a video.

The company leverages deep learning to simulate real videos and real actors without the need for costly infrastructure like camera crews, actors, cameras, studios, and a lengthy post-production process. Synthesiaโ€™s first product STUDIO launched in public beta in the summer of 2020 and it is now used by 30,000+ companies, including the BBC, Teleperformance, Amazon, and Reuters.

Notably, Prof. Matthias Niessner, one of the co-founders of the company, is behind some of the most well-recognised research projectsย in the field Deep Video Portraitsย andย Face2Face. The company's intuitive interface has grown to become the #1 rated video creation platform, proving its strong ability to capitalise on the growing AI in media market โ€“ which is estimated to be worth $99.48 Billion by 2030.
