Overview
- Wirestock secured a $23 million Series A led by Nava Ventures with SBVP, Formula VC and I2BF Global Ventures, and it plans to grow its data platform, add creator earning tools, deepen AI lab integrations and hire across research, engineering and product.
- After a 2023 pivot, the company now builds intentionally created training datasets across images, video, 3D and design, using human review and automated checks to verify quality and consent.
- The platform counts more than 700,000 creators who apply to contribute and complete an unpaid sample task used as a quality screen before taking on paid work.
- Wirestock reports a $40 million annual run rate and $15 million paid to contributors, and it supplies multimodal data to six large but undisclosed foundation-model makers.
- Positioning its licensed, traceable data as an alternative to scraped content, the company competes with Scale AI, Appen and Hive AI in a fast-growing market for curated training material.
