Clipto uses AI to search terabytes of video and is now valued at $250M

The three-year-old startup says it reached $15 million in ARR and profitability before raising its latest $15 million round. Generative AI is making it easier to produce more content and harder to keep track of it. As videos, recordings, and documents accumulate, Adobe, Apple, Google, and a growing number of startups are using AI to make those files searchable. It is not yet clear whether that will support a new category of stand-alone software or become a standard feature of products people already use. Clipto is betting there is room for a separate product. The San Francisco-headquartered startup, which also has teams in Singapore and Hong Kong, has raised $15 million in an all-equity round at a $250 million post-money valuation.
