February was a busy month for online video software platforms with five companies receiving venture funding for a total raised of nearly $50 million in funding. Across the vendors funded there is a common theme: they are all either AI video generation platforms or pure content creation software tools.
If you haven’t noticed already, AI generative technology is where investors are placing their bets in an otherwise very quiet investing period as the economy and political climates figure themselves out. AI video is somewhat at the center of the movement and in 2023 we will start to see marketers start to make the shift the way they script, produce and distribute video to a re-envisioned automated workflow and content creation engine based on AI.
With all that said, let’s get into the funding news:
