The company reports $700 million in annualized revenue, 30 million users across 200 countries, and partnerships with 390 Fortune 500 companies. Its tools include Cinema Studio for AI filmmaking and Marketing Studio for advertising teams, and it premiered AI-generated films at Cannes and in New York. New funds will go toward hiring, product development, and compute, since video generation is highly compute-intensive and the company competes with Synthesia and Runway. DST Global led the round, joined by Goldman Sachs Alternatives, Valor Capital, and Tribe Capital. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.

The company reports $700 million in annualized revenue and 30 million users across 200 countries. _Track fast-moving AI funding rounds like this one on daily.dev to keep up with the startup landscape._ ### Why is AI video generation more compute-intensive than text generation? Video is one of the most compute-intensive domains in AI because processing just one minute of video is comparable to processing 60,000 words. This makes securing reliable compute capacity a critical and costly requirement for companies like Higgsfield to remain competitive with rivals such as Synthesia and Runway. _Developers evaluating AI video tools can follow compute and infrastructure trade-offs on daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [AI video startup, Higgsfield, founded by ex-Snap exec, lands $1.3B valuation](https://daily.dev/posts/ai-video-startup-higgsfield-founded-by-ex-snap-exec-lands-1-3b-valuation-57x1lveos) · TechCrunch · 1 upvotes · 0 comments - [Higgsfield raised $400mn at $5.4bn, four times its January valuation](https://daily.dev/posts/higgsfield-raised-400mn-at-5-4bn-four-times-its-january-valuation-iofwm3u8t) · The Next Web · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [AI video startup Higgsfield eyes a $5bn valuation](https://daily.dev/posts/ai-video-startup-higgsfield-eyes-a-5bn-valuation-1pwryibwq) · The Next Web · 1 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#venture-capital](https://daily.dev/tags/venture-capital), [#genai](https://daily.dev/tags/genai) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/higgsfield-raises-400m-series-b-quadrupling-its-valuation-in-8-months-to-5-4b-vwqvb88kc) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"Higgsfield raises $400M Series B, quadrupling its valuation in 8 months to $5.4B","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/higgsfield-raises-400m-series-b-quadrupling-its-valuation-in-8-months-to-5-4b-vwqvb88kc","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/higgsfield-raises-400m-series-b-quadrupling-its-valuation-in-8-months-to-5-4b-vwqvb88kc"},"datePublished":"2026-08-17T19:05:23.730Z","dateModified":"2026-09-14T09:20:33.290Z","description":"Higgsfield, an AI image and video generation startup founded by former Snap executive Alex Mashrabov, raised a $400 million Series B at a $5.4 billion...","image":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/a8fce0512ee815448b0b9481387b04ad?_a=AQAEuop","thumbnailUrl":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/a8fce0512ee815448b0b9481387b04ad?_a=AQAEuop","isAccessibleForFree":true,"articleSection":"TechCrunch","inLanguage":"en","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180}},"author":{"@type":"Organization","name":"TechCrunch","logo":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/t_logo,f_auto/v1/logos/tc","url":"https://daily.dev/sources/tc"},"commentCount":0,"discussionUrl":"https://daily.dev/posts/higgsfield-raises-400m-series-b-quadrupling-its-valuation-in-8-months-to-5-4b-vwqvb88kc","interactionStatistic":[{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"LikeAction"},"userInteractionCount":1},{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"CommentAction"},"userInteractionCount":0}],"keywords":"venture-capital,genai","timeRequired":"PT2M"} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https://daily.dev"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"TechCrunch","item":"https://daily.dev/sources/tc"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"Higgsfield raises $400M Series B, quadrupling its valuation in 8 months to $5.4B"}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"FAQPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/higgsfield-raises-400m-series-b-quadrupling-its-valuation-in-8-months-to-5-4b-vwqvb88kc#faq","mainEntity":[{"@type":"Question","name":"How much did Higgsfield raise in its Series B and what is the company valued at now?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Higgsfield raised $400 million in a Series B round at a $5.4 billion valuation, up fourfold from a $1.3 billion valuation just eight months earlier.
