About

fal provides a real-time generative media platform powering the next decade of AI-driven content creation. The company offers tools for building and optimizing generative media applications, including an inference engine for diffusion models and support for training AI models. Developer and enterprise usage has surged with billions of real-time generative assets served monthly across image, video, audio, and 3D formats.

The platform serves over 2 million developers who use it to build scalable AI-powered applications. fal focuses on optimizing inference speeds and efficiency to enhance end-user experience, reducing barriers to creative expression by making generative AI accessible to all. The company's revenue has more than tripled since 2024 and exceeded $200 million as of October 2025.

Founded by Burkay Gur and Gorkem Yurtseven who first connected in San Francisco in the early 2010s after working at Coinbase and Amazon, fal was born from their shared passion for AI and desire to address challenges in AI infrastructure. This Series D was the company's third fundraise in 2025, each driven by usage-based demand rather than runway needs.
