Higgsfield AI is Changing Hollywood Forever...
You won’t find this stock on the Nasdaq
That means you’re still early.
Shares of Mode Mobile have soared over 2,900% higher since their first private offering in 2021. But they have even bigger plans in store, reserving the Nasdaq ticker $MODE. Even better? You don’t have to wait to invest.
Here’s why you want in: Mode’s completely rethought the smartphone by letting their users earn and save money simply by using their phones. Safe to say, it’s been a huge success. They’ve already reached 45 million customers, made $75M+ in revenue, and topped Deloitte’s “Fastest Growing Software Company” list.
Now, Mode’s leveraging partnerships with Best Buy and Walmart to reach even more of the world’s 7B smartphone users. It’s a $1T market opportunity in total.
And you can be part of that growth, pre-IPO. You can even get up to 20% bonus stock as an early-stage investor. But don’t wait.
The Startup That Went From $8M to $800M in Four Months
You know how everyone's always talking about the next big thing in tech? Well, this one actually might be it.
Meet Higgsfield AI – a company that's making Silicon Valley suits lose their minds. And honestly, after seeing what they're doing, I get it.
The Crazy Numbers
Here's the wild part: Back in April 2024, these guys raised $8 million in seed funding. Pretty standard startup stuff, right? Fast forward four months, and word on the street is they're looking at an $800 million valuation offer.
That's not a typo. We're talking about a 100x jump in valuation in less than half a year. Even by Silicon Valley standards, that's absolutely bonkers.
So What Do They Actually Do?
Remember when making a decent product video meant hiring a whole crew, renting equipment, and spending weeks in post-production? Yeah, Higgsfield just threw all that out the window.
They've built something called Product-to-Video – basically AI that turns your boring product photos into slick, professional videos. No prompts to write, no editing skills needed, no Hollywood budget required.
Here's how it works: You drop in a picture of your product, and their AI creates cinematic video content that looks like it was shot by a pro. We're talking smooth camera movements, perfect lighting, the whole nine yards. It's like having a film crew in your laptop.
The really clever bit? They use something called Draw-to-Video where you can literally draw your product into any scene. Want your sneakers running through Times Square? Your coffee mug sitting in a cozy cabin? Just sketch it in, and boom – it happens.
And It’s Wild What They Can Create
Yes, it generated this…..

The Guy Behind It All
The mastermind here is Alex Mashrabov, and his resume is pretty impressive. This isn't his first rodeo – he used to run generative AI at Snapchat, where he helped create those viral features that everyone obsesses over (you know, like Cameos and that AI chatbot).
Before Snapchat, he founded a company called AI Factory, which Snapchat bought for $166 million. So yeah, the guy knows what he's doing when it comes to turning AI ideas into real money.
He teamed up with Yerzat Dulat, who's got serious chops in AI video research. Together, they're basically trying to democratize video creation – making it so easy that anyone can do it.
The Technical Wizardry
Without getting too deep into the weeds, Higgsfield has partnered with some heavy hitters in the AI world. They're using Google's Veo 3 for audio and lip-sync stuff, ByteDance's Seedance for crystal-clear video quality, and MiniMax for those high-energy, dynamic shots that grab attention.
What makes them different from the competition? Most AI video tools still require you to write detailed prompts and mess around with settings. Higgsfield said "forget that" and built everything around visual interfaces. Point, click, drag – that's it.
They've also rolled out some neat features like Soul ID (keeps characters looking consistent across multiple videos) and UGC Builder (creates that authentic, user-generated content vibe that performs so well on social media).
Why Everyone's Going Crazy
The timing couldn't be better. Content is king right now, but good content is expensive and time-consuming to make. Higgsfield is solving that problem in a big way.
Think about it – small businesses that could never afford professional video production can now create content that rivals what big brands are putting out. Content creators can pump out videos in minutes instead of days. Marketing teams can test dozens of concepts without blowing their entire budget.
And the quality? It's genuinely impressive. We're not talking about those cheap, obviously AI-generated videos that scream "robot made this." This stuff looks real.
The Competition Scramble
The AI video space is heating up fast. Runway just raised $308 million, Synthesia grabbed $180 million, and there are dozens of other companies trying to crack this nut. The whole sector has seen over $500 million in funding this year alone.
But here's where Higgsfield is being smart – they're not trying to be everything to everyone. They're laser-focused on making product videos incredibly easy to create. While others are building complex platforms with hundreds of features, Higgsfield is perfecting one thing and doing it really, really well.
What's Next?
Right now, you can actually try the platform for free, which is pretty cool considering all the buzz around it. They've launched in several countries including India, Canada, and parts of Africa and Asia.
Mashrabov has this interesting take on where they're headed. He says they're not trying to replace Adobe Premiere or other professional tools – they're making video creation so simple that comparing it to traditional editing software doesn't even make sense.
That's a bold statement, but looking at their trajectory, it might not be that far-fetched.
The Bottom Line
Whether Higgsfield hits that $800 million valuation or not, they're definitely onto something big. The product solves a real problem, the team knows what they're doing, and the timing is perfect.
In a world where everyone needs video content but not everyone can afford to make it well, Higgsfield might just be the equalizer the market has been waiting for.
Will they live up to the hype? Only time will tell. But one thing's for sure – they've got Silicon Valley's attention, and that's usually a pretty good sign that something interesting is about to happen.
