Users are already making millions of videos in Hypernatural. We raised $9.2M to make it even easier.
Hypernatural makes video creation fast and fun. Now we have some money to make it faster and more fun for everyone.
Hey Hypernatural people. If you didn’t read the headline, here’s some news for you: we raised $9.2M!
So, what are we using the money for?
Most obvious answer first: to pay people. This year, we’ve already scaled from a rag-tag team of two (cofounders Taylor and Rebecca), to a group of 5 heavy hitters with experience building the most cutting edge video products (YouTube, Descript), creative tools (Figma, Coda), and social platforms (Meta, Twitter, Clubhouse) ever created. WE ARE HIRING. Check out our open roles here.
Now, on to the bigger picture…
Hypernatural is making video creation possible for everyone.
Hypernatural is building the video creation platform for everyone. If there’s one thing we’ve learned from our 1M+ users, it’s that we are in the middle of a creative revolution in video. This is true across the stack, from filming footage, to making animation, to the painstaking process of editing video: what once took months, thousands of dollars and years of learned expertise, and can now be done now be done with less time, effort and arcane know-how.
And that means way more people can express their creativity through video. Don’t take our word for it though. Here’s what our users have to say:
— James Ward, Founder, Simpli Faceless
Hypernatural AI has been a game-changer for us. It’s the only AI video generation platform we’ve found that actually produces usable, high-quality videos fit for real marketing and storytelling needs. We tested several other platforms that took hours just to generate short clips—Hypernatural gives us full-length, emotionally compelling videos in under two minutes. The speed, quality, and reliability make it clear: we’ve found our long-term video partner.
— Joseph Navarro, Founder of Witness Mi
“I just wanted to take a moment to express how absolutely blown away I am by your video generator.
I’m very new to the AI world, especially video creation, and after using your software, I’m completely speechless. I just generated an animation, and the entire experience was fun, easy, and incredibly fast. I’ve never used anything like this before, and I can honestly say it’s the perfect software for someone like me—simple yet powerful. It made me feel like a creator in a way I never have before....
Keep up the fantastic work. You’ve got a lifelong fan here!”
— Melissa T., Hypernatural user.
If you can dream it, Hypernatural can help you turn your vision into a reality
Today, our users are making incredible things in Hypernatural, from long-form sci-fi and fantasy epics and history channels to life lessons and inspiring stories for kids. Here are a few of our recent favorites:
Whisper in the Dark, a spooky tale about a young writer.
The Last Stand of Crassus, the history of the battle of Carrhae.
Amina’s journey to the Bench, an inspiring story of perseverance.
What ties Hypernatural’s global users together is their unbounded creativity. If you can dream it (and boy, do our users dream up a lot of interesting stuff), Hypernatural can help you turn your vision into a reality.
What separates Hypernatural from others in the video space is that in Hypernatural, you can actually make shareable video end-to-end. We’ve all seen impressive sizzle reels of 3-second AI generated videos and beautiful demos using a new hot model. But the dirty not-so-secret of all of these technologies is that they’re impossible to use for anyone who doesn’t have time to press the regenerate button a thousand times in multiple different tools and figure out how to composite all the assets. Not to mention expensive.
At Hypernatural, we are relentless focused on shipping features that make video creation faster, better and simpler, from idea to finished product.
That’s why the average minute-long video, complete with captions, custom characters and animation, takes only 30 seconds to generate in Hypernatural. It’s also why, when we launched Veo3 in Hypernatural’s generation stack, we built it directly into our AI Scene Library. A single 5 second video directly from Veo3 will set you back $3.75. So why not have access to thousands of the relevant, Veo3-generated scenes, with a consistent cast of characters and styling, as part of your $12/month Hypernatural subscription?
We believe in radically expanding access to, and the utility of, video creation tools. Today, you can make short stories, promos and ads in Hypernatural. We’re going to keep innovating and refining until the only limit is the world’s unlimited creativity.
