OpusClip secured $20M from SoftBank Vision Fund 2 at a $215M valuation, bringing total funding to $50M. The startup reached 10M users and 70M videos created in just 18 months by using multimodal AI to automatically extract viral clips from long-form content. This signals a systemic shift: AI is democratizing video production that once required substantial resources, with short-form content demand exploding (YouTube Shorts grew from 30B to 70B daily views from 2021-2025). As SoftBank doubles down on multimodal AI infrastructure, traditional production workflows face disruption while businesses of all sizes gain access to capabilities once reserved for well-funded media organizations.
