PixVerse Series C Funding Totals $439M, Valuation Crosses $2 Billion
The PixVerse Series C funding round, totaling $439 million, has pushed the Singapore-based AI video startup's valuation past $2 billion as it prepares to expand its world model offerings and reach customers across new geographies. The company announced the raise this week, marking one of the larger funding events in the competitive AI video generation space.
The extension round includes investors such as Alibaba, Lollapalooza Capital, Ivy Capital, Grand Mount Capital, Eastern Bell Capital, Mirae Asset, BlueFocus, and CloudAlpha, along with returning backers iGlobe Partners and OCBC's Lion X Ventures. PixVerse had closed an initial Series C tranche in March led by CDH Investments, which Bloomberg estimated at roughly $300 million.
Founded in 2023 by Wang Changhu and Jaden Xie, PixVerse operates three distinct product lines. The V-Series serves consumer users and API-based access, while the C-Series targets professional film and commercial production. The R-Series line, focused on world models for game development, hints at the company's broader ambitions beyond conventional video generation. Users can generate clips at up to 4K resolution with integrated audio.
The startup's consumer product has attracted over 150 million registered users and more than 15 million monthly active users. Pricing for image-to-video generation is set at $4.80 per minute.
Why the PixVerse Series C Funding Matters
The funding round reflects strong investor appetite for AI video infrastructure, a market that remains fiercely contested. With a $2 billion valuation and backing from Alibaba alongside prominent global funds, PixVerse is positioning itself as a formidable competitor to players like OpenAI's Sora and Runway. The company's expansion into world models for gaming signals a strategic shift from viewing its technology as a content generation tool to a broader platform play — one that could reshape how developers create interactive environments. For business decision-makers, the PixVerse Series C funding signals that the AI video market is consolidating around well-capitalized players with platform-level ambitions rather than single-purpose tools.
