FLORA Raises $42M: The AI Platform Unifying Workflows for Lionsgate & Levi’s
Series A Funding Alert
FLORA has secured $42 million to solve the “AI Fragmentation” crisis for creative professionals. The platform is now used by global giants like Lionsgate and Levi’s to harmonize text, image, and video workflows.
The “Creative Singularity” is approaching, and FLORA is the platform building the infrastructure. In January 2026, the company officially announced its Series A funding round, signaling a shift from experimental AI tools to integrated, professional-grade creative operating systems.
Led by Redpoint Ventures, this $42M injection brings FLORA’s total valuation into the “Centaur” category, with an enterprise strategy focused on removing the friction between standalone models like Gemini, Pika, and ChatGPT.
The “Infinite Canvas”: Beyond Chat Slots
Creatives have long complained that standard AI interfaces (like simple chat windows) are too restrictive for professional work. FLORA solves this with an Infinite Canvas approach.
- Multi-Model Integration: Within one workspace, you can generate a script with GPT-5, storyboard it with Midjourney, and animate it with Pika—all without switching tabs.
- Version Control for Art: Unlike standard web apps, FLORA keeps a persistent “Knowledge Graph” of your project, allowing you to branch and merge creative ideas like a software developer.
- Real-Time Sync: Built for teams at Lionsgate, the platform allows an art director in London and a producer in LA to see and edit AI generations in real-time.
Why Lionsgate and Levi’s are All-In
The adoption of FLORA by Lionsgate isn’t just about cost-cutting; it’s about “Iterative Speed.” Movie concept art that used to take weeks of back-and-forth now happens in interactive sessions where directors can “sketch” ideas alongside a generative agent.
For Levi’s, the platform is used to maintain brand consistency. FLORA allows teams to “lock” their brand assets (colors, logos, models) so that every AI generation stays within legal and brand guidelines—a feature missing from most consumer AI tools.

Future Roadmap: Agentic Workflows
Founder Wong (formerly of Adobe and NASA) stated that the next phase for FLORA is Agentic Creativity. This means the platform won’t just wait for prompts; it will proactively suggest scene transitions, color pallets, and soundtrack options based on the project’s existing context.
