The British Business Bank and the Sovereign AI Fund have backed the artificial intelligence developer in a record-setting seed round.
"David Silver is a generational talent who has consistently been on the cutting edge of AI development. Ineffable Intelligence has the potential to produce a paradigm shift in our scientific and technology landscape, and we are incredibly excited to be supporting him and his team in this endeavour."
Google Ventures led the Series E financing round, which valued the video platform at $4bn.
"Synthesia is a UK success story, creating new jobs and opportunities in this country. It shows that by backing innovators to start, scale and stay in the UK through better access to finance and generous tax reliefs, we can turn the promise of AI into better-paid jobs and long-term growth across the UK."
The cloud computing startup is raising capital to support its expansion as demand for artificial intelligence infrastructure surges.
The funding round was led by Development Partners International and included participation from Google, Visa, and IFC.
The pre-seed round was led by Bobby Previti with participation from senior executives across global financial and logistics firms.
"We’ve identified a clear gap in the market between mainstream online travel agencies and high-end travel concierges. Premium travellers are underserved, often forced to choose between impersonal, self-serve booking platforms or expensive concierge services that are slow to access. Holiwise is building an AI travel agent that combines the convenience of technology with the quality of a tailored luxury experience. It can instantly plan and book complete personalised itineraries, including synchronised flights, premium stays, and curated experiences for individuals or groups."
