Higgsfield hits $500M ARR with 150 staff and cash-flow positive status

Higgsfield reached a $500 million annualized revenue run rate in June, just 15 months after its launch in March 2025, according to saastr.com.

Higgsfield reached a $500 million annualized revenue run rate in June, just 15 months after its launch in March 2025, according to saastr.com. The company operates with a team of approximately 150 employees, split evenly between engineering and creative roles, and is cash-flow positive. CEO and co-founder Alex Mashrabov, who previously sold AI Factory to Snap for $166 million, leads the company through this rapid growth phase.

The platform, which did not exist before March 2025, scaled from $200 million ARR at the end of 2025 to $500 million within about 60 days, saastr.com reported. Higgsfield’s core engineering and product team consists of around 60 people. Mashrabov’s prior experience running Generative AI at Snap contributed to the company’s swift ascent. The firm is currently in discussions to raise funds at a valuation near $5 billion, up from a reported $300 million valuation just two months earlier.

Higgsfield’s growth trajectory is notable within the SaaS and AI sectors, where rapid scaling to half a billion dollars in ARR is rare. The company’s combination of a lean team and strong revenue performance contrasts with many AI startups that require larger workforces or extended timelines to reach similar milestones. The $5 billion valuation talks place Higgsfield among the highest-valued private SaaS startups focused on generative AI, underscoring investor interest in the space.

Higgsfield’s next milestone includes finalizing its funding round at the $5 billion valuation mark, which will further support its expansion. The company’s $500 million ARR figure as of June 2026 stands as a concrete indicator of its market traction and operational efficiency, as reported by saastr.com.
