    How Higgsfield Went From 0 to $500M Run Rate in 14 Months | Alex Mashrabov | RAISE Summit 2026

    Alex Mashrabov, Antoine Blondeau

    Alex, a former competitive programming prodigy and ex-Head of AI at Snapchat, founded Hicksfield in October 2023 to address the retention gaps of mobile-first AI tools by pivoting to an enterprise-focused model. The company recently exceeded a $500 million annual run rate within 15 months through its proprietary "Cinema Studio" platform, which serves creative agencies with specialized product photography models and rapid release cycles. Operating with a hybrid US and Kazakhstan talent structure, Hicksfield is currently driving market adoption by shifting the AI narrative from job replacement to direct revenue growth for small and mid-market brands.
