What Tavus Does
Tavus is a San Francisco-based generative AI video company founded in 2020 by Hassaan Raza and Quinn Favret. It provides developer APIs for AI-generated video: teams record a person once, then programmatically generate personalized videos or run real-time conversational video interfaces using that person's digital replica, with lip-synced speech and natural turn-taking.
This API-first, digital-twin focus differentiates Tavus from studio-style AI video editors. The company is a Y Combinator alumnus and raised an $18 million Series A led by Scale Venture Partners with participation from Sequoia Capital and HubSpot Ventures, followed by a Series B that brought total funding to roughly $64 million by late 2025.
