# TwelveLabs Raises $100M Series B for Video AI Understanding

> TwelveLabs has raised a $100 million Series B co-led by NEA and NAVER Ventures, bringing its total funding to around $150 million as it pushes into what it calls video superintelligence. The company builds models that understand footage the way people describe it, capturing sound, spoken words, and motion rather than treating video as a bag of frames. Its two flagship systems anchor the pitch. Marengo 3.0 is a powerful video embedding model, while Pegasus 1.5 turns raw video into structured data, pulling out scene boundaries, entities, and temporal segments that downstream applications can search and act on. The company is opening offices in New York and London and has brought Amazon on as a preferred cloud partner, with future models tuned for AWS Trainium chips. TwelveLabs has its deepest traction in media and entertainment but is expanding into public sector work, advertising, security, sports, and automotive uses. Video remains one of the harder modalities to make genuinely useful, and a well-funded specialist focused on understanding rather than generation fills a real gap in a market crowded with tools that make clips but struggle to comprehend them.
