FAQs about Captions
Funding context and why this company shows up in venture coverage.
Captions started as an auto-captioning app and expanded into a full AI video studio for creators — scripts, teleprompter, editing, and publishing short-form content from mobile.
Andreessen Horowitz (see /fund/andreessen-horowitz) and Sequoia (see /fund/sequoia) backed early rounds. Kleiner Perkins (see /fund/kleiner-perkins) led the $25M Series B in 2023.
Series B ($25M, 2023). The company remains private and competes in the creator AI video tooling space.
It turned a single-feature caption app into a full mobile AI production suite — a playbook other creator tools are following as generative video commoditizes.
No — Captions remains private.
