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 Series D round was co-led by Georgian, Hedosophia, and Khosla Ventures to support international expansion and product development.
Hedosophia led the seed round with participation from Visionaries Club and Anamcara to support expansion into new territories.
"Brands today face intense pressure to meet rapid shifts in consumer trends while delivering on expectations for fast, low-cost, and sustainable supply chains. Many of the biggest names in fashion still manage their supply chain data on Excel and communicate with suppliers via email or WhatsApp. We want to transform customers’ operations while meeting them where they are today. With Ameba, we’re turning supply chains from bottlenecks into engines of growth."
The company has raised £39.5m from new and existing investors to support its conversational artificial intelligence technology.
"I was extremely impressed with PolyAI’s intuitive and natural conversational abilities and the impact it will have on customer experience"
The digital bank is securing capital from high-profile backers to fuel its ongoing expansion.
