SignSplit Closes $400M Strategic Seed Round, Valued at $1 Billion
SignSplit, the company building infrastructure for what it calls the signed-data economy, has emerged from stealth with a $400 million strategic seed round secured with W Group, at a $1 billion valuation. According to the company's announcement, the financing commitment combines capital with a multi-year package of strategic resources to support SignSplit's global rollout.
What SignSplit is building
As AI and robotics systems reach further into the real world, demand is growing for real-world human data, knowledge and creativity. SignSplit enables people and institutions to protect, license and contribute their data, work and likeness with consent, clear provenance and defined terms, and to be compensated for their participation. The company calls this "signed data."
AI and robotics companies, researchers and other organizations can access data and research pools built around specific needs. SignSplit also includes a verification layer designed to let AI systems, social media platforms and other digital services identify signed content and see its provenance, consent and terms.
“Throughout my work in IP, technology transfer, AI and emerging technologies, I have seen how much valuable knowledge and research remains underused. With the rapid growth of AI, high-quality data and human expertise are becoming strategic assets, and we need better ways to protect rights, establish provenance and create value for the people and institutions behind them. This is what we are building at SignSplit a trusted bridge between human knowledge and the growing data needs of AI, with clear licensing, attribution and fair compensation. This strategic investment gives us the opportunity to scale this vision globally and build a trusted market for high-quality, rights-cleared data.” Dr. Mohamed Al Hemairy, Co-Founder & Strategy Advisor, SignSplit
The Backing Behind the Breakout
SignSplit was founded in 2024 and is incorporated as a Delaware Public Benefit Corporation. The company is led by Alessandro Monterosso, Co-Founder and CEO, alongside Glib Denisov, Co-Founder, Executive Chairman and Chief Product Officer. The round was secured with W Group, a global fintech and technology ecosystem serving more than 40 million users, whose Founder and President, Volodymyr Nosov, said he believes every serious participant in AI and the data economy will come to rely on SignSplit's infrastructure.
Why it matters
The next generation of AI will need more than additional data. It will need higher-quality data with clear provenance, permission and rights attached. A platform that makes consent and compensation part of the data supply chain speaks directly to that need, and a commitment of this scale signals how seriously the market is taking it.
