fal Acquires YC-Backed AI Startup Remade

fal, the generative media platform for developers, announced the acquisition of Remade, a Y Combinator-backed startup specializing in AI-native tools for creative and design teams. This acquisition marks fal’s first-ever purchase since its founding in 2021 and underscores the company’s rapid momentum in the generative media space.

Founded by engineers Burkay Gur and Gorkem Yurtseven, fal provides developer teams with API access to over 600+ image, video, and audio models through its serverless GPU infrastructure. The company is one of only 33 U.S. artificial intelligence firms to have raised over US$100 million in 2025. Enterprise customers include Adobe, Canva, Perplexity, and Shopify, among others.

“While building Remade, it was clear how valuable fal was to the generative media ecosystem,” said Christos Antonopoulos, Remade’s co-founder and CEO. “When we started talking with Burkay, it was incredible to listen to his vision for the future of generative media and how we could partner together to accelerate it.”

Remade’s Technology and Team Join fal

Founded in 2024 by Cambridge University computer science graduates – Blendi Bylygbashi, Christos Antonopoulos, Alex Matthews, and Rehan Sheikh – Remade built an AI-native workspace tailored for design and marketing teams. The platform offers a unified interface that integrates the latest image and video generation models, streamlining collaboration and creative workflows.

In a short time, Remade achieved remarkable traction, powering millions of generations across creative teams. Its open-source Wan 2.1 Video LoRAs have been downloaded more than 250,000 times, becoming one of fal’s most-used endpoints.

“The pace at which these four founders shipped high-quality code was impressive,” shared Burkay Gur, co-founder and CEO of fal. “They have an exceptional understanding of how fal helps developers and they stay ahead in the fast-paced generative media space. We love their hustle and are glad to have them on the team.”

Strengthening fal’s Position in Generative Media

Earlier this year, fal surpassed 100 million generative media requests per day while maintaining 99.99% API uptime, showcasing its scalability and reliability. The company collaborates with leading global AI and model providers, including Black Forest Labs, Google, Alibaba, ByteDance, and Hailuo.

Continuing its commitment to developer innovation, fal recently launched a developer sandbox environment that allows users to test multiple models against the same prompts before selecting which to bring into production – empowering faster experimentation and deployment.

“The fal sandbox is something we’ve been waiting for as developers ourselves,” said Christos Antonopoulos of Remade. “We’re going to continue incorporating feedback from our dev community to make it better to build with any model on fal.”
