Runway Secures $308M for AI Video Expansion - Runway, known for its generative AI models in media production, has raised $308 million in a Series D funding round led by General Atlantic, bringing its total funding to $536.5 million. The funds will support AI research, hiring, and the expansion of Runway Studios, aiming to create a new media ecosystem with world simulators.
Despite competition from OpenAI and Google, Runway remains ambitious, having launched Gen-4, a video-generating model, and targeting $300 million in annual revenue. However, a lawsuit over copyright issues could pose a challenge to its progress.
