San Francisco, CA – Fal.ai, the innovative generative media platform, has been named to the prestigious 2025 Forbes Cloud 100 list, ranking 88th among the world's top private cloud companies. The recognition was announced by co-founder Gorkem Yurtseven, who expressed honor at being included alongside other prominent AI-native firms. This achievement highlights Fal.ai's significant growth and its pivotal role within the rapidly expanding artificial intelligence sector.

Co-founded by Turkish-American engineers Burkay Gur and Gorkem Yurtseven, Fal.ai specializes in providing software solutions that resolve infrastructure bottlenecks for generative content creation, encompassing AI-powered audio, video, and images. The platform has garnered widespread adoption, serving over 1 million developers and catering to major clients including Adobe, Canva, and Perplexity. Its inclusion on the Cloud 100 list underscores its innovative contributions to the generative AI landscape.

Earlier this year in February, Fal.ai successfully concluded a Series B funding round, securing $49 million, with Notable Capital leading the investment. The company anticipates a substantial 300% increase in its annual recurring revenue by the close of the year, signaling robust financial performance. Yurtseven remarked in a tweet, "Especially rewarding to be one of the leanest companies on the list," indicating the company's operational efficiency.

The 2025 Forbes Cloud 100 list prominently features the escalating influence of artificial intelligence, with AI-centric companies now constituting 42% of the list's collective valuation, which has surged to over $1.1 trillion. This represents a significant jump from 21% in 2024, solidifying AI's position as a primary catalyst for enterprise technology value and growth. Fal.ai's presence on this definitive ranking further exemplifies the trend of AI-native companies spearheading market innovation.

Currently, Fal.ai maintains a lean team of 40 employees but is actively pursuing expansion. Yurtseven confirmed the company's recruitment efforts, stating, "We're hiring A+ talent in SF across the entire org." This strategic hiring drive in San Francisco aims to bolster Fal.ai's capabilities and capitalize on its recent industry recognition to further its development and market reach in the competitive generative AI domain.
