Clueso 已完成由 Dharana Capital 领投的 1000 万美元 A 轮融资，用于开发能够编写、录制和维护企业视频的 AI 代理，累计融资额达 1200 万美元。该公司正进入的市场由伦敦的 Synthesia 领导，后者在今年 1 月完成 2 亿美元融资后估值达 40 亿美元。
Clueso has raised a $10M Series A led by Dharana Capital for AI agents that script, record and maintain corporate video, bringing total funding to $12M. The market it is entering is led by London’s Synthesia, which was valued at $4B in January after a $200M round.
Clueso 已完成 1000 万美元 A 轮融资，用于开发制作企业视频的 AI 代理。Dharana Capital 领投此轮融资，使这家成立三年的公司累计融资额达到 1200 万美元。
Clueso has raised a $10M Series A for AI agents that make corporate video. Dharana Capital led the round, which takes the three-year-old company’s total funding to $12M.
公司称，已有超过 1000 家企业使用其产品，客户名单包括 Atlassian、Zendesk、Seismic 和 Ironclad。公司报告称客户反馈生产力提升了五倍，制作成本降低了 80%，但这些说法尚未得到独立验证。
More than 1,000 businesses use it, the company says, naming Atlassian, Zendesk, Seismic and Ironclad. It reports customer claims of fivefold productivity gains and 80% lower production costs, neither independently verified.
该公司正进入的市场已有明确领导者，且该领导者是英国公司。总部位于伦敦的 Synthesia 在今年 1 月完成由 Google Ventures 领投的 2 亿美元融资后，估值达 40 亿美元。
The market it is entering already has a leader, and the leader is British. Synthesia, in London, was valued at $4B in January after raising $200M in a round led by Google Ventures.
差距正是故事所在。Clueso 的全部融资历史仅相当于其最大竞争对手一次融资额的 6%。
The gap is the story. Clueso’s entire funding history amounts to 6% of what its largest competitor raised in one go.
Clueso 认为，相较于消费者工具，企业视频领域服务不足。Synthesia 声称，已有超过 60% 的财富 100 强企业使用其平台，并将其产品称为首个企业级 AI 视频平台。
Clueso frames business video as underserved next to consumer tools. Synthesia says more than 60% of the Fortune 100 already use its platform, and has called its own product the first enterprise AI video platform.
有一家客户同时站在双方。Atlassian 的学习团队曾引用赞扬 Clueso，而 Atlassian Ventures 去年参与了 Synthesia 的融资轮次。
One customer sits on both sides. Atlassian’s learning team is quoted praising Clueso, while Atlassian Ventures joined Synthesia’s funding round last year.
Clueso 的不同之处在于“捕获”。其 AI 代理能够导航真实软件，执行工作流并自行录制画面，随后在产品变更时重新运行以更新视频。
What Clueso does differently is capture. Its agents navigate real software, perform the workflow and record the footage themselves, then rerun it to refresh the video when the product changes.
它还为其他代理打开了通道。Clueso 的连接器使得包括 Claude 和 ChatGPT 在内的助手能够直接创建、编辑和管理视频。
It also opens the pipeline to other agents. A Clueso connector lets assistants including Claude and ChatGPT create, edit and manage videos directly.
时机正合其意。第一季度，AI 原生企业支出同比增长 94%，而传统软件仅增长 8%。
The timing suits it. AI-native enterprise spending rose 94% year on year in the first quarter while traditional software grew 8%.
此轮融资构成不寻常。Clueso 表示，Dharana Capital 领投此轮，而新增资金中超过 80% 来自现有投资者追加投资。
The round’s composition is unusual. Clueso says Dharana led, while more than 80% of the new money came from existing investors increasing their stakes.
这使得三位新投资者在1000万美元融资轮中分得不足200万美元。回归投资者Y Combinator和f7 Ventures将提供剩余资金。
That leaves the three new backers splitting under $2M of a $10M round. Y Combinator and f7 Ventures, the returning investors, would be supplying the rest.
欧洲资金来自法国。Marc Menasé于2018年在巴黎创立的Founders Future是新投资者之一，该机构此前已投资金额在25万欧元至300万欧元之间。
The European money is French. Founders Future, which Marc Menasé founded in Paris in 2018 and which has written cheques of €250,000 to €3M, is among the new investors.
