How this list was built
A company is on this list if LeadWave tags it as a video generator, text-to-video, image-to-video or AI avatar company, or its description or website presents AI video.
The data comes from LeadWave's database of SaaS and AI companies, last updated in November 2026. Companies that share a website are counted once. Headcount, funding and CEO come from public sources, so some fields are blank for smaller companies.
