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)
Kled has registered over 15 million file records on the Trace Audit Portal in just a few days.
Four multi billion dollar frontier AI labs have already begun using Trace to verify the integrity and provenance of Kled's data before making purchases.
This is only the beginning. The Data Foundation will continue expanding the system until every file on Kled is fully auditable on chain.

Kled is now, for the first time, officially charting in the top 200 finance apps in the United States.
We are also in the top 100 finance apps in 60 other countries simultaneously right now.
We’ve already begun retention testing on this version vs our last across 1,000 users:
-55.2x on average uploads on initial download.
-4.7x more likely to complete complex high pay special tasks on initial download.
-63.5x average app opens over a 1 week timeframe vs our last update.
And more…
Kled has officially crossed 10 million views per week across TikTok, Instagram, and more. Directly from users.
Our app has consistently remained top 100 in 20+ countries and top 10-20 in countries like Indonesia.
Our iPhone market share will soon be supplemented by our new Android app release which just did over 5,000 pre registrations in less than an hour.
Kled is coming to android. Pre-registration live today on the Google Play Store: https://t.co/m4DylrVbtI
The most requested addition to the company since we launched the app a few months ago.
This update should greatly increase Kled’s market share and will be followed with a Web / PC release as well.
We've received an $8 million request for anonymized financial data. Credit card reports, tax returns, w9 forms and other personal financial documents.
Users will be able to upload and get paid for these documents at their discretion directly in the Kled app. Fully anonymized with 0 personal data leaked. Expected pay is up to $50-$150 per form.
Live with our V3 update, currently being fulfilled through a network of specialized accountants with the proper legal clearance.
On another note over the next 3 days another $500,000 of $KLED will be purchased.
We’ve started and are continuing to buy back over $1 million of $KLED in the last 48 hours.
$KLED will ultimately become a fully viable reward currency for our data marketplace and human in the loop fraud detection tools we have built.
As our contracts get bigger and bigger we will continue to support our token community accordingly and to our discretion.
