SignSplit Secures $400 Million Seed Round led by W Group as It Launches the Signed-Data Economy

WILMINGTON, Del. and beyond — SignSplit PBC, a technology company building the infrastructure for a new “signed-data” economy, has emerged from stealth with a strategic seed deal valued at $400 million, led by W Group. The financing pegs SignSplit at a $1 billion valuation and pairs capital with a multi-year collaboration plan designed to accelerate a global rollout. The funding comes as real-world human data, knowledge, creativity and experience become increasingly critical to the next wave of AI, robotics, healthcare, science, media and beyond. signaled as a core differentiator, SignSplit provides a platform through which individuals and institutions can protect, license and contribute their data, work and likeness, all with consent, provenance and clearly defined terms. This framework enables contributors to participate in the data economy while receiving compensation.

The company describes its approach as “signed data,” a verifiable, rights-attached data supply that AI developers, researchers and media platforms can access for project-specific needs. The platform includes a verification layer to confirm provenance, consent and terms, helping digital services identify signed content and its associated rights. In essence, SignSplit aims to bridge human contribution with protection and compensation as technology grows more entwined with the real world. Co-Founder and CEO Alessandro Monterosso emphasized that the next era of AI will depend on high-quality, real-world data with transparent provenance and rights. He noted that SignSplit was designed for this future, not just the current state of AI, and positions the company as a crucial interface between human input and machine evolution. Volodymyr Nosov, Founder and President of W Group, underscored the significance of a robust signed-data infrastructure for the AI and data-economy ecosystem, highlighting the breadth of SignSplit’s potential across industries that rely on human input.

SignSplit was established in 2024 by Glib Denisov, who serves as Co-Founder, Executive Chairman and Chief Product Officer. Denisov explained that the company anticipated the AI trajectory would demand more than data alone; it would require data of higher quality, backed by real-world provenance, permissions and rights. Since its inception, SignSplit has been building the infrastructure to support this new data economy, enabling individuals and institutions to participate in data generation, licensing and data-driven work in a governed, consent-backed manner. The company operates as a Delaware Public Benefit Corporation and positions itself as a provider of the underlying architecture that connects people with AI, robotics developers, researchers and media platforms, ensuring real-world data and other human contributions are protected and compensated.
