This industry-leading pace and capital efficiency is made possible through our revolutionary approach to unleashing generative AI in the physical world. The incredible list of investors who have joined us on this round represent pioneers and trailblazers across deep tech, AI, automotive, as well as shipping and logistics ecosystems including NVIDIA, Volvo Group, Porsche Automobil Holding SE, Scania Group, Ingka Investments, HarbourVest Partners, G2 Venture Partners, BDC Capital (Canada), Export Development Canada | Exportation et développement Canada, Radical Ventures, Incharge Capital Partners, and others.

Congratulations to Twelve Labs on its $50 million Series A! Led by Jae Lee, the Twelve Labs team is building multimodal AI that understands videos in the same way humans do. 🚀🚀🚀
A huge congratulations to the Twelve Labs team on its $50M Series A, co-led by New Enterprise Associates (NEA) and NVIDIA! Working with Jae Lee and the Twelve Labs team over the past two years has been an absolute pleasure. The opportunity that Twelve Labs has in front of it—to unlock the power of video and build the future of video understanding using cutting-edge AI—has never been clearer or more compelling. Look no further than the fast-growing list of marquee customers working with Twelve Labs, from media to sports to security to advertising to government. If your organization deals with videos, you should be using Twelve Labs. I am thrilled to have Tiffany Luck and Chase Overlie join the crew for the journey ahead. Onward! 🚀 https://lnkd.in/dDmG5jst
