# Higgsfield AI Series B: $400M at $5.4B Valuation for AI Video Creation Platform

> Higgsfield, a platform for generating AI video and images, has raised $400 million in a Series B round led by DST Global, quadrupling its valuation to $5.4 billion in just eight months. Investors including Tribe Capital, Goldman Sachs Alternatives and Smash Capital joined the round, a sign of how hungry backers remain for tools that turn text prompts into polished visual content. The numbers behind the raise are what stand out. Higgsfield says it has reached roughly $700 million in annualized revenue with 30 million users across 200 countries, and it claims 390 of the Fortune 500 among the companies using it for content production. Much of that growth followed a major infrastructure rollout earlier in the year that the company credits with a sharp jump in usage. Generative video is one of the most competitive corners of AI, with labs and startups alike racing to ship. Higgsfield's pitch is less about the flashiest model and more about being the practical tool marketing teams actually reach for, and investors are betting that distribution and revenue, not just research, will decide the winners.
