Hedra
AI video platform for lifelike digital characters, powered by its Character-3 foundation model.
About
Hedra is a San Francisco AI video generation platform built around Character-3, an omnimodal foundation model that blends text, image, and audio to create expressive, character-centric performance videos — from talking avatars to full-body cinematic clips. It targets creators and enterprise marketers who need character-driven content at scale.\n\nThe company raised a $32M Series A in May 2025 led by Andreessen Horowitz's Infrastructure fund, reaching roughly $44M total funding and a reported $200M valuation. By that point, over 2.5 million users had generated more than 10 million videos on the platform. Limitations: enterprise-tier pricing is the focus post-raise; character realism varies with input quality, and heavy compute keeps generation costs above simpler text-to-video tools.
