Kuaishou Technology announced that a group of investors, including Alibaba and Tencent, will invest over $2.8 billion in Kling AI, valuing the company at $15 billion on a pre-money basis.
Funding and Valuation
The fundraising is a significant investment in China’s fast-growing AI sector, which has attracted billions of dollars in fresh capital. Kling AI, a popular AI video-generating service, will use the funding to further develop its technology and expand its services.
Following the capital injection, Kuaishou’s stake in Kling AI will be diluted to about 68% from 100%. The fundraising allows Kling AI to bring an additional investor within the next two months, and is capped at $2.9 billion.
