Here a the latest report from Forbes

Hedra, a new generative AI video creation tool, has officially launched, backed by a $10M seed funding round led by Index Ventures, Abstract, and A16Z Speedrun. This is a relatively small investment for a company in the emerging video generation field, which is crowded with well-funded competitors like Runway ($237M raised), Pica ($80M), Luma ($70M), HeyGen ($60M), Haiper ($19.2M) and coming soon Sora (from OpenAI), and possibly Veo from Google. An entrant from China, Kling, just opened to international users.
Hedra's flagship offering, Character-1, is a video foundation model that users say stands out for its speed and control. It enables creators to produce longer-form videos with a focus on character-centric narratives. The founders says the tool addresses a critical need in the market by balancing speed and control, which previous generative video models struggled to achieve. “We're focusing on integrated workflow tools around communication, automating the production of a Youtube video or e-learning video, rather than focusing on text to video models,” said Co-founder and CEO, Michael Lingelbach.
“Character-1 offers creators a new level of expressive control and efficiency,” said co-founder and CTO Alex Bergman, “which we believe will transform the way narratives are told." Hedra is designed for content creators, enterprise marketers, and businesses seeking to leverage AI-driven video creation workflows. Since its initial release, over 350,000 users have generated more than 1.6 million videos using the platform, highlighting its broad appeal and versatility.
