San Francisco-based startup Flam announced a $40 million Series B on September 14, 2026, to expand an AI infrastructure platform for creating interactive videos, streamed three-dimensional experiences and conversational visual agents. QED Investors led the round, with participation from new and existing backers.
Investors and expansion
Claypond Capital, Australian Gulf Capital, the SRK Family Office, Martin Chavez and Datadog Chief Executive Olivier Pomel joined the financing. Existing investors RTP Global and Dovetail also participated. Flam plans to direct the capital toward research and development, additions to its product suite and expanded sales operations.
Three content formats
Flam divides its platform into three formats. Flicks are AI-generated interactive videos supported by compression technology intended to keep interactions responsive. Airboards are high-fidelity 3D experiences streamed to devices and camera interfaces; Flam says these assets can be produced from text and image prompts using its proprietary Fable model.
The third format, Visual Agents, consists of realistic avatars designed for live conversations. According to Flam, its Fantom model handles identity preservation, motion transfer and streamed facial expressions. Fantom works with Falcon, a 26 billion-parameter mixture-of-experts model that the company claims can achieve a 30-millisecond time to first token. The source provides no independent benchmark results for that performance claim.
Enterprise traction
Although Flam describes itself as having operated in stealth mode, the company says it signed more than 100 enterprise customers during the past 18 months, including Google. It has not disclosed the full customer list or revenue generated from those accounts.
Flam is targeting $100 million in annual recurring revenue next year. That figure is a forward-looking company target, not reported current revenue, profit, valuation or confirmed annualized run rate.
Scaling challenge
Flam says its infrastructure stack is backed by more than 15 patents and is intended to let enterprises deploy interactive content without extensive engineering work. The funding gives the company additional resources to develop that stack, but the source does not provide pricing, general availability details or independent evidence that the technology can sustain its claimed responsiveness at enterprise scale.
