fal Startup Program

Overview

fal runs a Startup Program offering $1,000 to$5,000 in API credits for scaling startups. Teams start at $1,000 and the grant grows to$5,000 as their monthly usage on fal crosses each threshold — contact fal for a bump when a threshold is reached, no re-application needed. Credits apply to fal's catalog of 1,000+ image, video, audio, and 3D models behind one API, and must fund the applicant's own product (no reselling or transferring).
