Video-understanding startup TwelveLabs closed a $100M Series B led by NEA and Naver Ventures, with Amazon participating as a strategic investor. The raise lands amid a record H1 2026 — $510B in global venture funding, already surpassing all of 2025 — as multimodal and physical-AI infrastructure draws outsized capital. For builders, continued investment in video/multimodal retrieval signals maturing tooling beyond text-first pipelines.
