In this episode of Jimmy’s Jobs of the Future, we sit down with Victor, the co-founder of Synthesia, arguably the biggest technology company you haven't heard of yet. Synthesia is making video creation completely AI automated, and they recently made headlines by becoming the fastest-growing unicorn in the United Kingdom.

Victor joins us to celebrate a massive milestone: raising 200million in a SeriesE round led by GoogleVentures(GV), bringing the company to a 4 billion valuation. We dive deep into the journey of building an AI-native company long before the world was talking about ChatGPT, and what the future holds for the "attention economy".

Key Topics Discussed:

• The Mark Cuban Cold Email: How Victor and his team found Mark Cuban’s email address in a Sony hack data dump
• The Evolution of AI Video
• Hiring "Diamonds in the Dirt": Why Victor avoids "rockstars" from big-name tech logos
• The Future of "AI-Native Video

About Victor and Synthesia

Synthesia was founded on the idea that AI would reduce the marginal cost of creating content to zero.
