Funding Market: TwelveLabs Raises $100M Series B for Video Superintelligence
TwelveLabs, a video intelligence company, announced a $100 million Series B round co-led by NEA and NAVER Ventures with participation from Amazon, Radical Ventures, Korea Investment Partners, Index Ventures, Quadrille Capital and Red Bull Ventures. The company is extending beyond video-understanding models into a full-stack, agentic video intelligence system that unites perception, knowledge and reasoning. TwelveLabs highlights its Marengo 3.0 video embedding model and Pegasus 1.5 model for turning video into structured data; both models are distributed via Amazon Bedrock and TwelveLabs’ API. AWS is described as TwelveLabs’ preferred cloud provider with a multiyear partnership that includes optimizing inference on AWS Trainium chips and launching new models first on AWS. The funding will be used to accelerate R&D, expand offices (San Francisco, Seoul, new New York and London offices) and move from foundation models to application-level products like Rodeo.
Large $100M Series B for a video-AI company accelerating full‑stack video intelligence capabilities, partnerships with AWS, and models distributed via major cloud channels could speed adoption across media, advertising, security and enterprise workflows.
