Hey,
Wayne and I started HeyGen with a vision to help
businesses grow by making visual storytelling accessible
to all.
Our audiences live in a video-first world. But businesses
struggle to keep up with video demands. The traditional
process of video production - scripting, casting.
production, localization, and re-shoots can take weeks
or months. With HeyGen you can create engaging videos
in minutes.
Since founding HeyGen, we've made great strides
towards our vision, and now support over 40,000
businesses around the world in creating, localizing, and
personalizing videos. None of this would've been possible
without the support from you - our community.
Today, we're proud to announce that HeyGen has
raised $60M in Series A funding. With this new funding
we're accelerating our product roadmap to help your team
generate even more beautiful and engaging videos, all
while doubling down on investments in Enterprise
Security, Al Ethics, and Trust & Safety.
