视频生成创企 PixVerse 完成 4.39 亿美元 C 轮扩展融资，估值超 20 亿美元

总部位于新加坡的视频生成初创公司PixVerse： https://pixverse.ai/今天表示，它已关闭其C轮扩展，本轮共筹集了4.39亿美元$。该公司告诉TechCrunch，随着新一轮融资的到来，其估值已超过20亿美元($)。借助这笔资金，该公司的目标是扩大其世界模式产品，并接触到不同地区的客户。

该公司在3月份完成了由CDH Investments牵头的首轮C轮融资。虽然没有透露融资金额，但据彭博社报道，融资金额在3亿美元左右（ $ ）。 PixVerse表示，延期融资的投资者包括阿里巴巴、Lollapalooza Capital、Ivy Capital、Grand Mount Capital、Eastern Bell Capital、Mirae Asset、BlueFocus和CloudAlpha，以及回归投资者iGlobe Partners和华侨银行的Lion X Ventures。

该公司由王昌虎和谢家登于2023年创立。Changhu之前在ByteDance从事计算机视觉工作， Xie是投资公司Lighthouse Capital的执行董事。

PixVerse提供多种型号，包括用于消费者和API的V系列视频模型，用于专业电影和商业工作流程的C系列视频模型，以及今年早些时候发布的用于游戏开发和世界建筑的R系列世界模型： https://pixverse.ai/en/blog/pixverse-launches-r1-real-time-world-model。

通过其工具，用户可以生成高达4k分辨率的视频，并烘焙音频。这家初创公司表示，其消费产品拥有超过1.5亿注册用户和超过1500万月活跃用户。该公司拒绝具体说明其中有多少是付费用户，但它提供了一个有竞争力的价格： https://artificialanalysis.ai/video/leaderboard/image-to-video每分钟生成4.80 $的图像到视频。

谢认为，尽管视频生成有巨大的成功机会，但只有少数公司在市场上取得进展。

“OpenAI在关闭Sora 2时退出了业务。Meta和腾讯等其他公司无法创建高质量的视频模型。因此，只有少数公司能够达到质量标准，”他告诉TechCrunch。

他说，在消费者和企业市场，机会是平等的，因为用户正在制作有趣的视频，也在消费用人工智能制作的短视频内容，而企业正在将视频生成用于创意、学习和营销用例。

然而，说初创公司的模式产生了“高质量”的输出并不是一个独特的限定词。谢提到，它的核心优势在于标签。

“我们认为关键的区别不在于数据，而在于您如何标记数据，因为数据无处不在。我的联合创始人在ByteDance工作，在那里他使用人工智能构建了TikTok背后的核心视觉理解技术。利用这项技术， TikTok能够准确地标记数据并构建强大的推荐算法。在构建视频生成平台时，这种体验会派上用场。”

该公司今年雄心勃勃。它希望在全球范围内扩大其企业外展。这家初创公司已经与其投资者阿里巴巴达成协议，部署视频生成功能。

在产品推出方面，该公司计划在今年推出用于视频生成的新V系列车型，并发布其世界车型的新版本。它在新加坡、北京和上海的办事处拥有150名员工。有了新的资金， PixVerse的目标是聘请更多的研究人员和上市人员。

尽管对自己的型号和产品充满信心，但视频市场正在升温。有像ByteDance的Seedance模型，前腾讯AI负责人Wei Liu博士的Video Rebirth，以及来自亚洲的Kling AI这样的玩家。 在西方，有Midjourney： https://techcrunch.com/2025/06/18/midjourney-launches-its-first-ai-video-generation-model-v1/， Runway： https://techcrunch.com/2026/05/15/runway-started-by-helping-filmmakers-now-it-wants-to-beat-google-at-ai/， Luma： https://techcrunch.com/2025/12/18/luma-releases-a-new-ai-model-that-lets-users-generate-a-video-from-a-start-and-end-frame/等竞争对手。 包括Yann LeCun的： https://techcrunch.com/2025/12/19/yann-lecun-confirms-his-new-world-model-startup-reportedly-seeks-5b-valuation/和Fei-Fei Li的： https://techcrunch.com/2025/11/12/fei-fei-lis-world-labs-speeds-up-the-world-model-race-with-marble-its-first-commercial-product/初创公司在内的多家公司正在构建世界模型。

Singapore-based video-generation startup PixVerse：https://pixverse.ai/ said today that it has closed its Series C extension, with a total of $439 million raised in the round. The company told TechCrunch that, with the new tranche of funding, its valuation has crossed over $2 billion. With the cash, the company aims to expand its world model offering and reach customers across geographies.

The company closed its initial Series C round in March, led by CDH Investments. While it didn’t disclose the funding amount, Bloomberg reported it to be in the range of $300 million. PixVerse said that investors in the extension round include Alibaba, Lollapalooza Capital, Ivy Capital, Grand Mount Capital, Eastern Bell Capital, Mirae Asset, BlueFocus, and CloudAlpha, joining returning investors iGlobe Partners and OCBC’s Lion X Ventures.

The company was founded by Wang Changhu and Jaden Xie in 2023. Changhu previously worked at ByteDance on computer vision, and Xie was an executive director at investment firm Lighthouse Capital.

PixVerse offers multiple models, including a V-Series video model for consumer and API use, a C-Series video model for professional film and commercial workflows, and an R-Series of world models for game development and world building, which was released earlier this year：https://pixverse.ai/en/blog/pixverse-launches-r1-real-time-world-model.

Through its tool, users can generate videos in up to 4k resolution with audio baked in. The startup said that its consumer product has over 150 million registered users and over 15 million monthly active users. The company declined to specify how many of them are paying users but it offers a competitive rate：https://artificialanalysis.ai/video/leaderboard/image-to-video of $4.80 per minute of generation for image-to-video.

Xie believes that despite the huge opportunity for video generation to succeed, only a few companies are making progress in the market.

“OpenAI exited the business when they shut down Sora 2. Other companies like Meta and Tencent are not able to create high-quality video models. So there are only a few companies that can meet the quality bar,” he told TechCrunch.

He said that there is equal opportunity in the consumer and enterprise markets as users are creating videos for fun and also consuming short video content made with AI, while enterprises are using video generation for creative, learning, and marketing use cases.

However, saying that the startup’s model produces a “high-quality” output is hardly a unique qualifier. Xie mentioned that its core strength lies in labeling.

“We think the key difference is not in data, but how you label it, because data is available everywhere. My co-founder worked at ByteDance, where he built core visual understanding technology behind TikTok using AI. Using this tech, TikTok was able to label data accurately and build a strong recommendation algorithm. This experience comes in handy when building a video-generation platform,” Xie said.

The company has big ambitions this year. It wants to expand its enterprise outreach across the globe. The startup already has a deal with its investor Alibaba to deploy the video-generation features.

In terms of product rollout, it plans to launch a new V-Series model for video generation and release a new version of its world model this year. It has 150 employees across offices in Singapore, Beijing, and Shanghai. With the new funding, PixVerse aims to hire more researchers and people in go-to-market function.

Despite its confidence in its own models and products, the video market is heating up. There are players like ByteDance with its Seedance model, former Tencent AI head Dr. Wei Liu’s Video Rebirth, and Kling AI from Asia. In the West, there are competitors like Midjourney：https://techcrunch.com/2025/06/18/midjourney-launches-its-first-ai-video-generation-model-v1/, Runway：https://techcrunch.com/2026/05/15/runway-started-by-helping-filmmakers-now-it-wants-to-beat-google-at-ai/, and Luma：https://techcrunch.com/2025/12/18/luma-releases-a-new-ai-model-that-lets-users-generate-a-video-from-a-start-and-end-frame/. Multiple companies, including Yann LeCun’s：https://techcrunch.com/2025/12/19/yann-lecun-confirms-his-new-world-model-startup-reportedly-seeks-5b-valuation/ and Fei-Fei Li’s：https://techcrunch.com/2025/11/12/fei-fei-lis-world-labs-speeds-up-the-world-model-race-with-marble-its-first-commercial-product/ startups, are building world models.
