Synthesia just hit $4B valuation — nearly doubling in 12 months.

The London-based AI video platform raised $200M Series E, jumping from $2.1B to $4B valuation. Unlike most AI startups burning cash, Synthesia crossed $100M ARR in April 2025.

• $200M Series E led by GV (Google Ventures)
• $4B valuation (up 90% from $2.1B in 2025)
• $100M+ ARR with enterprise clients like Bosch, Merck, SAP
• Structured employee secondary sale via Nasdaq

How it happened — Founder steps:
• Started with AI avatar tech for corporate training (2017)
• Focused on enterprise wedge vs consumer market
• Built sticky B2B product with measurable ROI
• Crossed $100M ARR milestone (April 2025)
• Existing investors doubled down in Series E

Takeaway: Enterprise AI with clear ROI metrics attracts repeat investment at premium valuations.
