German AI startup Black Forest Labs raises $300 million Series B at $3.25 billion valuation Black Forest Labs, a Freiburg-based visual intelligence company developing advanced AI models for image generation and editing, has secured $300 million in a Series B funding round, valuing the company at approximately $3.25 billion. The capital will accelerate research and development for its flagship FLUX family of models and support global growth from its bases in Germany and the US. The round was co-led by AMP (backed by Anjney Midha) and Salesforce Ventures, signalling strong confidence in the company’s frontier AI vision. A diverse syndicate of institutional investors and strategic backers also participated, including Andreessen Horowitz (a16z), NVIDIA, Temasek Holdings, Bain Capital Ventures, Air Street Capital, Visionaries Club, BroadLight Capital, Northzone, Creandum, Earlybird VC, and General Catalyst. Strategic and corporate investors joining the round included Canva, Figma Ventures, Adobe Ventures, Deutsche Telekom’s T.Capital, the European Tech Collective, Shutterstock, and QuantumLight Capital. The financing also attracted notable angel investors, such as Nico Rosberg (Founder of Rosberg Ventures), Guillermo Rauch (Vercel), Michael Ovitz, Mati Staniszewski (ElevenLabs), and Clem Delangue (Hugging Face). Founded in 2024 by a team known for contributions to the Stable Diffusion architecture, Black Forest Labs has quietly raised more than $450 million in total funding to date. Its FLUX models are already integrated across major creative and enterprise platforms, and the company plans to use the new capital to deepen R&D, expand its engineering team, and scale infrastructure. #venturecapital #AI #SeriesB #BlackForestLabs #AMP #SalesforceVentures #a16z #Temasek #NVIDIAVentures #Canva #FigmaVentures #AdobeVentures
