Almost 100 investors said no to Victor Riparbelli’s AI video idea. But that didn't stop him.

He went on to co-found Synthesia in 2017, turning AI-generated avatars into a business used by over 90% of Fortune 100 companies.

In 2023, Synthesia reached a $1B valuation.

By 2025, it hit $2.1B.

Then in 2026, a $200M funding round pushed the company to a $4B valuation.

Today, Victor is building one of Europe’s biggest AI companies — and changing how businesses create video.
