Flam raises $40 million Sseries B to scale AI interactive content

Flam, an AI-driven interactive content startup, has secured $40 million in Series B funding to scale its technology. The round was spearheaded by QED Investors, with participation from Claypond Capital, Martin Chavez, Olivier Pomel, Venky Harinarayan, and Shah Rukh Khan. Existing investors RTP Global and Dovetail also re-invested in the company.

Flam has onboarded over 100 enterprise clients across six quarters, including industry giants like Google, Emirates, and KFC. These clients leverage Flam's platform for diverse purposes, including marketing, product visualization, learning and development, entertainment, fan engagement, customer support, and sales.

At the heart of Flam's offering is its ability to create interactive content at enterprise scale. The company has developed a suite of AI models and patented technologies that allow for seamless integration of interactivity into various forms of media. Flam's flagship product, Flicks, is an interactive video format that enables mid-playback changes to person, product, or scene, thanks to a proprietary compression algorithm.

Another key product is Forge, an editing model that allows for precise modifications to specific elements within an image.

Flam's content delivery capabilities are equally impressive. Fable, a high-fidelity 3D image-to-video model, generates assets that can be streamed in as little as 300ms, without the need for any app installation. Visual Agents bring an element of human-like interaction through conversations and agentic actions, while Fantom handles facial expressions, voice, and motion transfer. Falcon, a 26B-parameter MoE LLM, ensures that responses are generated in under two seconds, making the entire experience feel instantaneous.

The $40 million investment will be directed towards R&D on Flam's AI models, expanding the product suite, and scaling enterprise sales globally. Flam's team, founded in 2021 and headquartered in San Francisco with additional offices in India and Japan, holds over 15 patents and leverages the power of 5 AI models. The company's unique approach to interactive content has been recognized by investors, with Nigel Morris, Co-Founder and Managing Partner at QED Investors, highlighting the vast untapped potential in the content ecosystem that Flam is poised to exploit.
