What is VideoGen?
VideoGen is an AI video generator built around agents. Instead of a blank timeline, its AI agents guide users through structured workflows to produce fully editable, copyright-free videos for marketing, e-commerce, training, explainers and presentations.
The platform includes more than 200 AI voiceovers across 50+ languages, one-click translation for localizing videos, and browser-based editing so teams can adjust output without exporting to another editor. For developers, VideoGen offers a Text-to-Video API and MCP integration, which lets AI assistants and automated pipelines generate videos programmatically.
VideoGen says it has more than 5 million users in 190+ countries, from individual creators and small businesses to Fortune 500 teams. The company was founded in 2023 by Anton Koenig (CEO) and David Grossman, went through Y Combinator (S24), and bootstrapped on $30K before raising outside capital.
In September 2026, VideoGen announced a $3.3M seed round with Y Combinator, Rebel Fund, Lobster Capital and Stretford End Capital, alongside Mento VC, Pioneer Fund and Decacorn VC.
