This year, we at fal pushed the limits of what’s possible, of what’s imaginable, in generative media. We post-trained already outstanding models to be even better and faster, in order to test what happens when quality converges with speed. We also cemented generative media’s impact in every major industry, expanding the very definition of what a creative layer can enable.
Some of these milestones came out of late nights, when the office was empty and we had the quiet hours to follow one idea through to the end. Others came out of loud and busy afternoons, with the whole team in the room, experiments and ideas running in parallel.
Entertainment studios, advertising agencies, e-commerce brands, game developers and marketing teams now run image, video and audio models, including our own, inside the pipelines that deliver their final work. Supporting all of this takes two things: the inference capacity to run these models at scale and the team to build what comes next.
To invest in both, we closed a Series E led by Sequoia Capital earlier this year, and today we are announcing it alongside our Series F, led by Bessemer Venture Partners with NVIDIA as a strategic investor.
These rounds and investors fund work across the fal ecosystem in 2027 and give our team room to pursue new research and new forms of creation. Thank you to our investors, our customers and model partners, and everyone at fal.
