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 Version 3 is coming. Over $20M+ in rewards will be paid directly to users from leading AI labs across robotics, legal services, image and video generation, world modeling, and more.
In the last seven days, we’ve received inbound data requests from several decacorn AI labs and enterprises for datasets our human data marketplace is uniquely positioned to provide.
Since receiving the specs for these requests, we now have a much better picture and understanding of how to reshape the systems that collect this data, so here’s what’s coming:
1. A fully redesigned home experience: The home feed is being rebuilt to surface the highest-value, most relevant tasks for each user, similar to how Uber Eats surfaces top restaurants. The goal is to turn every user into their most effective version as a data contributor.
2. Automated quality enforcement at scale: New ML systems are being built to evaluate task-specific requirements in real time. For example, if a task requires “two hands visible on camera at all times,” any video that fails that spec will be automatically rejected. This logic will apply across thousands of tasks and specifications using a general ML.
3. Kled Shop: Some tasks require better capture hardware. We’re introducing Kled Shop, where users can redeem points or tokens for equipment like Meta glasses, drones, and other tools. Points and tokens can be converted directly from payouts.
4. Partner-run data labeling and evaluation work: Some of our partners operate high-paying data labeling and model evaluation programs. We’re integrating their workflows directly into Kled so qualified users can access these roles in one place. These jobs are owned and managed by our partners. Kled’s role is to route the right people to the right work. Some opportunities pay $50–$1,000 per hour depending on expertise.
5. Global payouts and localization: We’re partnering with a major payment processor to enable cashouts in users’ native currencies. This unlocks broader global participation. Multi-language support is also coming to accelerate user growth.
This full suite of tools will be rolling out soon, directly to Kled users. Top earners are currently making ~$7,000 per month. With this update, we should see the first ~$10,000 per month earner.
We've officially broken out of Asia. Kled hit the top of the app store charts in France (#11), Georgia (#19), Canada (#178), Belgium (#49), Pakistan (#33), Cape Verde (#81), Burkina Faso (#80), Nigeria (#79), and Luxembourg (#58) in the last 2 days.
We're one of the fastest growing app in over 50 countries now.
The calm before the storm, you’ll see it soon on KLED. 👀👀

>Now with the new feature that states holding $KLED token boosts your payouts + alot of other perks you get, i highly highly recommend holding some $KLED tokens because of their perks,and boosts!
@pm_guene I don’t have the exact number but it usually takes 3-5 business days to process all payouts, which means you have a good timeframe to upload pics and special tasks
@Mingccun The photos need to get labeled for the AI model so yes they will change! just give it some time itll always change to (pending sale) before payouts
Finally, to boost your payouts head to the special tasks section and complete the shown tasks you want to do, after all of this wait for your payouts then you can cash them out! (time to process payouts and cash-outs may vary!)
