Video Rebirth secures $80 million funding for AI video engine innovations
Video Rebirth, an artificial intelligence (AI) video startup based in Singapore, has raised $80 million in funding to advance the commercialization of its industrial-grade AI video engine and its flagship Bach video generation model. The total includes an additional $30 million raised recently, building on an initial $50 million secured in November. The funding reflects strong interest from global investors across sectors such as entertainment, mobility, and technology.
The funding round drew support from prominent backers, including AMD Ventures, Hyundai Motor Group, and other strategic investors. Video Rebirth intends to use the funds to scale its Bach series of video models and expand its reach into global markets.
Industrial-grade AI for consistent digital content
Unlike experimental AI tools, Video Rebirth focuses on creating what it calls an "industrial-grade AI engine", designed to deliver consistent and commercially viable video output. Its Bach video generation model is engineered to produce high-fidelity and physics-consistent videos, bridging traditional film techniques with the potential for interactive and personalized media. The company aims to replace conventional film and rendering workflows with AI-driven methods that create coherent digital environments.
The Bach model's versatility paves the way for applications in content creation, simulation, and mobility, including the training of physical AI systems in realistic digital environments. Highlighting the company’s vision, Dan Kong, Co-founder and COO of Video Rebirth, stated:
"Video Rebirth was built as a global company from day one. Having the strategic backing of a global technology powerhouse like AMD validates our vision. Our investor base reflects this ambition, spanning global financial institutions and strategic partners who understand the scale of our vision. They recognize that we aren’t just building a tool for a single market, we are building a generative infrastructure for global digital content."

Strategic partnerships to drive innovation
The funding will also enable Video Rebirth to expand its infrastructure. In collaboration with AMD, the company is developing high-performance computing systems to support its large-scale video generation technologies. According to Sagi Paz, Head of AMD Ventures:
"Video Rebirth’s pioneering approach to building world models natively through video exemplifies the type of technical innovation that aligns with AMD’s commitment to advancing the future of AI. We are proud to collaborate with Video Rebirth and for AMD to serve as their long-term infrastructure partner, delivering the high-performance compute foundation needed to scale their industrial-grade realities to the world."
In addition to AMD, Hyundai Motor Group and other entertainment and automotive leaders are backing the company. Keith Noh, Head of ZER01NE at Hyundai Motor Group, described the potential applications of Video Rebirth’s technology:
"We invested in Video Rebirth because their technology transcends creative media. Their ability to generate physically consistent environments makes them a key partner for the future of mobility. We see immense potential in using their AI Engine to train physical AI within hyper-realistic digital worlds."
The entertainment industry has also recognized Video Rebirth’s capabilities. Bookyung Kim, Director at HIVEN, part of the CJ Group, stated:
"CJ Group has one of the largest entertainment portfolios in Korea across drama, film, and music, and we see Video Rebirth’s technology as a compelling enabler for new content workflows and IP-driven experiences. From HIVEN’s perspective, our investment reflects our expectation for meaningful collaboration opportunities across the broader CJ ecosystem, including CJ ENM, as we explore practical use cases together."
A vision for the future of interactive media
Video Rebirth’s leadership emphasizes its ambition to revolutionize digital content creation. The company’s Co-founder and CSO, Difu Li, expressed its broader mission:
"We are at the precipice of a ‘De-engineering’ revolution in pan-entertainment. By mastering the causal logic and high-fidelity persistence of generative video today, we are democratizing the creation of interactive worlds. Our mission is to allow any creative vision to instantaneously collapse into a playable digital universe, turning the passive 'viewer' into an active personalized explorer of infinite possibilities."
With a focus on international expansion, Video Rebirth is aiming to transform industries such as gaming, film, and simulation-driven sectors. Peter Lim, Partner at Feedback Ventures, described the company’s potential:
"The Video Rebirth team combines world-leading technical talent, with a compelling vision and tight execution. A strong foundation in Video AI positions Video Rebirth for opportunities in simulations-driven industries."
As it moves forward, the company plans to scale enterprise use cases and commercialize its technology, positioning itself as a leader in creating next-generation digital ecosystems. Video Rebirth’s innovative approach appears poised to reshape how content is produced, consumed, and experienced across multiple industries and markets.
