AI video startup Higgsfield raises $400M Series B at $5.4B, 4x its valuation from months ago
Higgsfield closed a $400M Series B led by DST Global at a $5.4B valuation, months after a $1.3B Series A — a sign that generative video and image tooling is still pulling premium late-stage capital even as the broader funding market barbells toward a handful of giant rounds. Backers include Goldman Sachs Alternatives, Intel Capital and NTT DOCOMO Ventures. Runway, Pika and Synthesia are all in this catalog already. They now face a better-capitalised challenger on both price and feature velocity.
