【HeyGen完成新一轮融资，投前估值翻六倍至4.4亿美元】
据《有新Newin》报道，AI视频生成初创公司HeyGen（原名Surreal）正在推进一笔6000万美元的新一轮融资，其投前估值已高达4.4亿美元，相较于四个月前的估值，这一数字增长了六倍。此轮融资由知名风投机构Benchmark领投，Benchmark曾成功早期投资Snap和Uber等科技巨头。HeyGen的上一轮投资是在去年11月，由著名VC Sarah Guo创立的Conviction领投。
HeyGen由前Snap软件工程师Joshua Xu和前字节跳动产品设计师Wayne Liang在2020年底的疫情期间共同创立。在短短一年半的时间里，公司已迅速发展，目前在LinkedIn上的资料显示，HeyGen拥有约40名员工。这家初创公司专注于利用人工智能技术生成视频内容，其创新技术和市场潜力显然已经引起了投资界的广泛关注。
HeyGen的快速增长和高估值反映了AI在视频内容创作领域的巨大潜力，以及投资者对这一领域的持续看好。随着新一轮资金的注入，HeyGen有望进一步提升其技术能力，扩大市场份额，并可能加速产品创新，以满足不断增长的市场需求。
