Modal Labs Reported Near $750M Round at $15.75B Valuation

Modal Labs is reportedly closing in on a $750M round at a $15.75 billion valuation, according to the round source cited in the company's funding profile. The same profile records the September 28, 2026 round at $750M with a last reported valuation of $15.8B as of September 2026 — two figures for the same deal appearing in the source material. The round type is not specified, and no investors were named; the profile states plainly that investors were not disclosed.

What Modal Labs does is concrete: the company provides cloud infrastructure for running AI, machine learning and data workloads through a developer-focused serverless platform. It builds infrastructure for developers and AI teams to run compute-intensive workloads, including machine learning and data processing, without managing the underlying servers. Its stated key differentiator is that developer-focused serverless approach to AI infrastructure, aimed at simplifying deployment and scaling of workloads. The platform is positioned for organizations building and scaling AI applications that require flexible cloud execution.

If the round lands as reported, it would be the company's first tracked raise in this database, taking cumulative funding to $750M across a single round. Modal Labs is headquartered in New York, USA. No detail on how the proceeds would be deployed was included in the source material, and the profile does not indicate whether the round has formally closed — only that the company is closing in on it.

The deal lands in a capital-intensive corner of the market. Among the AI infrastructure companies tracked alongside Modal Labs, cumulative raises run considerably higher: Aligned Data Centers at $13.2B, Databricks at $12.0B, Firmus at $9.4B, Nscale at $8.6B, Crusoe at $8.2B and Nebius at $6.3B. Those totals reflect multiple rounds and years of fundraising, so they measure scale of capital raised rather than direct competition with Modal Labs' serverless execution layer. Still, they sketch the neighborhood: infrastructure for AI workloads is drawing some of the largest checks in the sector, and a $750M entry point at a reported $15.75 billion valuation would put Modal Labs among the better-capitalized private players in the category on the strength of a single reported raise.

For now, the open questions are the ones the source leaves unanswered: who is writing the checks, what structure the round takes, and whether the reported valuation settles at $15.75 billion or the $15.8 billion carried in the database. The profile's single funding entry and its September 28, 2026 date suggest more detail may follow once the round is confirmed.
