It’s here: the all-new Descript, + Series C investment (OpenAI Startup Fund)
Today is a really big day at Descript. First, we’re releasing an all-new version of Descript, which we’ve been working on for over a year. And second, we’re announcing that the OpenAI Startup Fund will be leading our $50 million series C fundraising round. In this video, our CEO Andrew goes into detail on the product release and the investment news. Take a tour of the new features here: descript.com/tour
The new version of Descript that we’re releasing today is really just laying the foundation for a new kind of video editor. We’re excited to keep building it with you.
