AI video generation platform PixVerse has closed its Series C funding round, marking what the company described as the largest financing in Asia’s AI video generation sector and propelling the startup into the ranks of global “unicorns,” the firm said.
The round was led by CDH Investments and included participation from Antler, EnvisionX Capital, iGlobe Partners, Lion X Ventures, UOB Venture Management and 3W Fund, alongside other investors.
Financial terms of the investment were not disclosed.
PixVerse said the fresh capital will support its global expansion, particularly through its newly established global office in Singapore, which will serve as a base for enterprise sales, partnerships and market development across North America and Asia.
The company, which develops artificial intelligence tools capable of generating videos from text prompts, images or clips, has seen rapid adoption as demand for AI-generated content accelerates across entertainment, marketing and enterprise applications.
PixVerse said its platform has surpassed 100 million users across 175 countries as of September 2025 and has generated more than 2.1 billion videos to date.
According to the company, its technology enables enterprise teams to cut production costs by about 68% and shorten content creation timelines by 57% compared with traditional video workflows.
PixVerse co-founder Jaden Xie said the new funding would allow the company to scale its technology globally and broaden access to AI-powered video creation tools.
“This round marks a new chapter for PixVerse, one defined by scale, reach and the ambition to make AI video creation a universal capability,” Xie said in a statement.
The financing follows a series of technical developments at the company. In January 2026, PixVerse launched R1, which it described as the world’s first real-time video generation model capable of producing continuously responsive video streams that adapt to user input.
Its flagship model, V5.6, can generate 1080p videos in under a minute and includes synchronized audio-visual elements and multi-character coherence, the company said. Independent benchmarking by Artificial Analysis ranked the model second globally in both image-to-video and text-to-video generation as of February 2026.
Changhu Wang, PixVerse co-founder and chief executive, said the technology represents a broader shift in how digital content is created and consumed.
“When user input can change the direction of a video almost instantly, the creative process becomes interactive and dynamic,” Wang said.
Investors say the platform could play a key role in the next wave of generative AI applications. Antler general partner Fady Abdel-Nour said PixVerse combines advanced AI research with tools designed to help creators produce highly shareable digital content.
The company joins a growing group of AI startups reaching unicorn status amid surging global investment in generative AI technologies, particularly those focused on video, which analysts see as one of the most commercially promising segments of the sector.
