Serverless cloud platform for AI, ML, and data workloads.
Modal Labs provides serverless cloud infrastructure tuned for AI inference, ML training, and batch data workloads — letting developers run Python functions on GPUs without managing servers. Founded in 2021 by Erik Bernhardsson (ex-Spotify, Better.com) and Akshat Bubna. Raised an $87M Series B in September 2025 led by Lux Capital at a $1.1B post-money valuation; reportedly in talks for a $2.5B follow-on led by General Catalyst.

This price sits more than 100% away from the last disclosed round. Past a 2× repricing off a single secondary print, the likeliest explanation is that the print and the round describe different share classes rather than a genuine move. It is published and graded like every other price, but treat it with more care.
