# TwelveLabs Raises $100M Series B for Video AI

> TwelveLabs has raised a $100 million Series B to push deeper into what it calls video superintelligence, led by NEA and NAVER Ventures with participation from Amazon, Radical Ventures, and Index Ventures, among others. The round brings the company's total funding to roughly $150 million. The technical pitch centers on Marengo 3.0, which TwelveLabs describes as its most powerful video embedding model, able to understand sound, speech, and motion as they unfold over time rather than treating video as a bag of still frames. The platform is built to compound in value, holding persistent memory and reasoning across entire video archives, and it targets a striking gap: video makes up more than 90 percent of the world's data yet remains searchable mostly by whatever text someone bothered to attach. That is the real bet here. If TwelveLabs can make video as queryable as text, it unlocks archives that are currently dark to software, from enterprise footage to sprawling media libraries. The company is scaling to match the ambition, expanding offices across San Francisco, Seoul, New York, London, and Los Angeles.
