Lightricks
Lightricks is a Foundation Models - Video company founded in 2013 and based in Jerusalem, Israel. It has raised $335M in total funding, most recently a Series D in 2021 at a $1.8B valuation.
Lightricks was founded in 2013 in Jerusalem by Zeev Farbman, Nir Pochter, Yaron Inger, Amit Goldstein and Itai Tsiddon. It built a portfolio of consumer creative apps led by Facetune, and later LTX, an AI video business that releases open-weight models such as LTX-2 and LTX-2.5 and runs the LTX Studio platform. Facetune brings in about $300 million in annual revenue and funds the AI work, while LTX licenses its models to large tech companies and Fortune 500 clients for annualized revenue in the tens of millions of dollars, Calcalist reported in June 2026. Lightricks has raised $335 million, including a $130 million Series D in September 2021 led by Insight Partners and Hanaco Venture Capital at a $1.8 billion valuation. In June 2026 it said it would split into two companies, with Farbman running LTX and former Outbrain deputy CEO Asaf Porat taking over Facetune, and it cut 75 jobs, leaving about 350 employees.
LTX-2 generates synchronized video and audio in one open-weight model of about 19 billion parameters, and LTX says its models have passed 33 million downloads. Its community license is free for organizations under $10 million in annual recurring revenue, and ComfyUI was a day-one launch partner for LTX-2.5 in August 2026. Enterprises license the models to run on their own infrastructure, which cuts their computing costs. That gives creative-tool builders an open-weights option alongside closed video models.
