one of the most notable tailwinds for solana will be ai startups like kled gaining traction & aligning their token with the business, providing labs w/ verifiable human data is a coordination problem that uniquely benefits by using a token
only @ ~$20M mcap, $1M token buyback
Today, we’re announcing our $5.5M Seed round to build the first human data marketplace.
Backed by Sebastian Thrun (Founder of Waymo), Aglaé (Venture Fund of Bernard Arnault), K5 Global, Diplo, Parable VC, Cox Exponential (CX2), Daniel Greenberg (Founder of MSCHF), Harrison Shih (DoorDash Labs), Kent Lacob (Owner of Golden State Warriors), and more.
This brings our total financing to $9 million. (Thread)
imagine when we get millions of people swapping the money they get from kled INTO $KLED.
the ultimate flywheel is the masses.
kled will have millions of people from all across the globe BUYING $KLED so that they can make even more money.
this is a better axie infinity.
A Message Regarding Ben Pasternak
I didn’t want to make this post. The only thing I wanted was to never think about or speak about this person ever again.
But for the last 7 days straight, Ben Pasternak has been market selling millions of $KLED tokens via DCA (every second of the day), directly during our largest app update to date + bear market volume. For the transparency of our holders, I believe it is responsible to tell the full story.
Ben originally owned over 6% of the $KLED supply as part of his original fee agreement. This allocation continued aggregating until we exited Believe in July.
Shortly after, Ben and I had a Telegram conversation where he explicitly stated he would never sell $KLED on the open market, and that if liquidity was ever needed, he was open to either OTC sales or burning supply.
After that conversation, things were calm. We fully intended to coordinate OTC buyers whenever needed.
On September 24th, the day before our mobile app release, I sent both Imran and Ben an early trailer of the launch as a gesture of goodwill despite prior issues. They congratulated us and we moved on.
The next day, September 25th, our whales noticed a significant sell off coming from Ben’s public wallet. Ben later claimed he had “OTC’d” his supply to an undisclosed third party, who then immediately market sold over 1% of the total $KLED supply that same day. To this day, he has refused to disclose who this party was.
I immediately reached out to Ben, Soju, Imran, and others. Both Imran and Soju, to my knowledge, told Ben this was unacceptable and that we should have been informed. His reasoning for selling was “taxes.” To this day, we do not know what this means, especially considering that burning the supply would have solved this issue as well.
So during our biggest product launch, we were forced into damage control, scrambling to coordinate OTC solutions to prevent further market harm.
Between September 24th and September 27th, Ben agreed to and backed out of OTC pricing four separate times, while also lying about when he began selling. Communication was nearly nonexistent. Even his own team struggled to get responses.
Ultimately, we were forced to OTC his position at an approximately $27 million valuation. This reduced his holdings from around 6% to roughly 3.5%, as far as I remember, possibly slightly more or less. He refused to sell the remainder, stating he wanted to “wait it out,” despite previously claiming his selling was for tax reasons.
Weeks passed with zero communication.
Then, about a week ago, Ben resumed market selling $KLED again, despite repeated assurances that he would never do so.
Once again, our whales had to scramble to organize OTC buys, reducing his position to roughly 1.7%. Even then, he continued selling into the chart.
As of now, Ben holds approximately 2 to 3 million tokens as far as I know and is still market selling them. It is almost over.
That is the full story. I will not engage further, regardless of any response from him or his team. All communications are documented and have been seen by hundreds of people.
This behavior is unacceptable. No builder should ever work with him again if that was not already clear.
On to better things. Thankfully, this chapter is almost closed, and I can move on from the Believe team’s clown show.
The wait is over, introducing Kled the first app that lets you upload your personal data and get paid for it.
Fully out of beta and available for everyone on the App Store today. Your data, your story.
take the time to read this if you want to make 7-9 figures (less than 60 seconds of your time).
if you didnt know, AI is essentially:
Processing Power + Data + Algorithms
To “bet” or “invest” into AI people have been buying Nvidia, intel, etc. (Processing Power)
People also have invest in the AI companies themselves (Algorithms)
The ONLY thing that people havent been able to invest in is the DATA section which is arguably the MOST IMPORTANT part of AI.
now here is where @useKled gets involved. Essentially, kled pays anyone on earth money to upload pictures and videos from their camera roll. This is “data”, and its the MOST ESSENTIAL kind of data in ai.
Earlier this month, multiple ai companies were sued because they were “scraping” data from the internet. The ONLY solution for this is to get the data ETHICALLY and with CONSENT.
@useKled is the ONLY company that is involved in this and is WAY ahead of any companies that are trying to get involved.
with Nvidia having a market cap of 10,000 TIMES that of $KLED. I think its pretty safe to say that $KLED is the most asymmetric bet in the ENTIRE world right now.
with the next version of the app coming out extremely soon, where ALL users are let off the waitlist, i can CONFIDENTLY say that when that happens, kled will 20-100x within the month.
kled has ALREADY partnered with billion dollar AI labs that NEED this data.
$KLED under a billion is free money.

$Kled is very interesting to me
Why it could go to $1B+ market cap:
Kled is a data company that sells data it acquires to Ai companies to train their LLMs with. Regulations are coming in across the world right now making it illegal for these companies to use copy eight data without permission. Therefore they will need to buy data and Kled has this data and packages that data in ways the LLMs can most effectively learn from.
Token buybacks are done with 33% of the revenue from deals made with Ai companies and elsewhere. Founder is absolutely cracked and the team are some high IQ nerds that know what they are doing.
Some may say I’m late at $50m market cap but the demand for this tech will only increase with regulation pushes. Be early to shifts and you will be rewarded.
Special thanks to @Soloxbt for posting about this, he’s a great follow and I wouldn’t have found this without him.
All of the above is not financial advice, I am not a financial advisor and you should conduct thorough due diligence.

We’re thrilled to announce that Kled has signed an exclusive AI licensing agreement with its first government organization, Maryland Public Television (MPT), one of the largest statewide networks in the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) family.
For over 50 years, MPT has been recognized as one of the most decorated regional broadcasters in America, earning 211 Capital Emmy® Awards from the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences, along with multiple national Emmys and the Board of Governors Award for overall excellence.
Under this deal, Kled now holds one of the most versatile TV catalogues across crime, science, nature, and local storytelling. Hundreds of broadcast shows are now converting to high fidelity training data.
This is historically one of the first and largest TV publishing deals specifically for AI training. We’re beyond excited to continue to push these boundaries and sign the biggest production networks in the world.
This is premium, authorized training data. If labs want to train on it legally, they now come through Kled.
This is just the start, more and more government organizations will continue to trust Kled with their data. Welcome to the family MPT.
Kled now holds the exclusive AI licensing rights to over 30,000 pieces of entertainment, including Bugs Bunny, Woody Woodpecker, Tennessee Tuxedo, Tom & Jerry, Pink Panther, Popeye, The Twilight Zone, Garfield, and thousands more classics.
This deal 6 months in the making, signed exclusively with Ninja Digital Holdings, marks one of the largest cartoon and TV catalog partnerships in AI history.
For decades, these titles built the foundation of modern animation. Now they will power the next generation of artificial intelligence.
AI companies have been training on this data for years without permission. From now on, if they want to legally train on it, they have to come through Kled.
Dupe has just made a $550,000 investment into $KLED, and are partnering up to enrich hundreds of millions of commerce data points.
Dupe is one of the fastest-growing shopping networks on the internet. Approaching $100 million in GMV this year and on track to 5× that within the next 12 months.
Over the last four months, Kled has expanded beyond data collection to full scale data enrichment/labeling, building enterprise infrastructure that turns raw data into structured, insight-rich training sets for next-generation AI.
Unlike traditional shopping platforms, Dupe is platform-agnostic, it sees shopping behavior across the entire internet. This gives rise to a massive opportunity: to understand not just what users buy, but why they buy.
Through Kled’s enrichment layer, we’re mapping shopping journeys in granular detail:
– Identifying product discovery patterns
– Understanding brand affinities
– Measuring historical price sensitivity and intent
– Predicting cross-category purchase paths
Dupe will use this enriched dataset to power shopping LLMs capable of anticipating needs, personalizing recommendations, and reducing friction from discovery to checkout.
In the coming months, Kled and Dupe will continue deepening this collaboration as we use this data to enhance their user experience.
We’re excited to push past our limits and create the perfect labeling infrastructure for this data. Kled will continue to compete with not only the data collection giants but also the data enrichment unicorns that are worth billions of dollars.
We’re excited to announce that Kled has received a $1 million LOI from @superpower to help build the future of healthcare AI.
Superpower Health, a $300M healthcare leader, has tasked Kled with unlocking one of the most valuable datasets in the world: how the world’s best doctors deliver care to their patients.
Kled is building new healthcare integrations inside our app. Patients will be able to securely connect their healthcare portals and share anonymized chat history from conversations with their doctors. In return, they get paid.
That data is then licensed to companies like Superpower Health to power next-generation healthcare AI, always with user consent and transparency.
This supports Superpower’s mission to make the world’s best healthcare accessible to everyone.
This is just the beginning. Healthcare is one of the most important uses of AI, and Kled is positioned to be at the center of it.
The $KLED mobile app is complete. Today marks the moment Kled goes mainstream, the moment everyone’s been waiting for.
Load up. Lock in. It’s time to make history. We've finally submitted it to the App Store, link dropping with the full force of our marketing campaign.
