TwelveLabs raised $100 million in a Series B co-led by NEA and NAVER Ventures.
It’s shifting from selling AI models to a full platform that reasons across video archives.
Amazon, a participating investor, named AWS its preferred cloud provider, with new models launching there first.
TwelveLabs wants to build what its chief executive officer, Jae Lee, calls “video superintelligence.” That phrase invites comparison to OpenAI’s Sora and Google’s Veo, two of the most talked-about names in AI video. But TwelveLabs is deliberately not fighting that battle.
The San Francisco- and Seoul-based startup raised $100 million in Series B funding to double down on a narrower, less flashy problem: making sense of existing video rather than generating new video from scratch.
