Video Rebirth, an artificial video generation startup backed by AMD Ventures, has announced raising $30 million more in its latest funding round.
The additional funds were on top of the $50 million it raised in November, bringing the final close of the funding round to $80 million, the startup said in a statement.
The company said the expanded round drew participation from venture capital firms in Asia, as well as strategic investors including AMD Ventures, Hyundai, and backers from the entertainment, mobility, and technology sectors.
Video Rebirth said the fresh capital would be used mainly to speed up the commercialisation of its video generation product line, the Bach series, and support its international expansion plans.
Founded by Dr. Wei Liu, a former Tencent Distinguished Scientist and IEEE/AAAS Fellow, Video Rebirth is looking to differentiate itself through video models that prioritises physical realism and fine-grained control.
The startup is positioning its AI video technology beyond consumer demos, focusing on commercial applications such as content production and simulations.
Co-founder and chief operating officer Dan Kong said Video Rebirth was built as a global company from day one, adding that AMD’s backing supported its ambition to build generative infrastructure for digital content on a global scale.
“Our investor base reflects this ambition, spanning global financial institutions and strategic partners who understand the scale of our vision,” Kong said.
The company’s core technology, which it calls ‘Physics Native Attention’, underpins its ‘Bach’ video model series. The system is built to keep motion, lighting, and object interactions consistent with real-world physics, resulting in more realistic shadows, movement, and scene continuity.
Co-founder and chief strategy officer Difu Li said the company was targeting opportunities across the broader entertainment industry by enabling creators to generate more consistent, interactive digital environments.
In November last year, Video Rebirth raised $50 million to develop what it describes as a “world model” designed specifically for professional film, advertising, and animation studios.
The round drew participation from a mix of global financial and strategic backers, the company said, without naming the investors or disclosing its valuation.
Globally, generative video has become one of the fastest-growing segments in AI, led by companies such as Runway, Pika Labs, and Synthesia, all of which have attracted significant investor interest recently.
Last year, US-based Runway raised $308 million, while UK-based Synthesia secured $180 million. American firm Pika Labs also raised $80 million.
