Overview

Synthesia develops a generative-AI video platform that lets companies create customizable training and communication content using realistic virtual avatars. The London-based startup serves large enterprises such as Bosch, Merck and SAP, helping them replace traditional e-learning modules with more engaging video formats. The business model is subscription-based and has proven highly scalable, surpassing $100 million in annual recurring revenue (ARR) in April 2025. Now employing more than 500 people across offices in London, Amsterdam, Copenhagen, Munich, New York and Zurich, Synthesia continues to invest heavily in product R&D. Its next major initiative is a suite of AI agents that will allow employees to query company knowledge, role-play scenarios and receive tailored explanations, driving deeper engagement and faster learning. Management believes the convergence of increasingly capable AI agents and board-level urgency around upskilling will further accelerate adoption of its platform.
