A New Milestone for Black Forest Labs
Black Forest Labs has secured 300 million in fresh capital. The company says this raise marks a new stage in its development. It places the start-up among the fastest-rising visual-AI developers in Europe.
The team began in 2024 with a small group of researchers in Freiburg. They had helped build some of the earliest diffusion-based image models. Their goal was clear. They wanted to build visual-intelligence systems that could blend creativity with technical precision.
The company has grown far beyond its origins. Its FLUX system is used by creators, designers, and global enterprises. Users say it produces photorealistic scenes. They also say it supports artistic work with a level of detail that feels natural.
