About Neural

We build the creative instruments of the next century.

Neural started in a garage in Berlin with one question: what if the most powerful creative tools felt as beautiful as the work they make possible?

A small team with a loud mission.

We're 28 people — researchers, designers, engineers, and one very opinionated ceramicist — building the AI studio we always wanted as creators. No gatekeeping. No guesswork. Just the most cinematic creative engine on Earth, in a single tab.

Today, four million creators ship images, films, and entire brands with Neural every week. Tomorrow? We don't know — and that's the best part.

2022 Founded in Berlin by 3 ex-researchers from DeepMind, Runway & Apple.
2023 Series A — $32M led by Index. First generation engine ships.
2024 v2 launches with native video. 1M creators in 90 days.
2026 v3.5 — cinematic quality at sub-second latency. The studio you see today.
Principles

What we stand for.

01

Cinema is the bar.

If it doesn't move us, it doesn't ship. Every model is judged by filmmakers, not benchmarks.

02

Creators first.

Tools should disappear. The work — your work — should be the loudest thing in the room.

03

Open by default.

Every output is yours. Train on your own data. Take it anywhere. No lock-in, ever.

04

Build in public.

Our roadmap is a Notion page. Our research ships to the community within weeks.
