Kled AI is a mobile data marketplace that pays people to upload files and photos that can be used to train AI models. Developers and businesses pay for this data to make AI systems better, and Kled gives some of that money back to the people who contributed it. The platform claims to be the first marketplace where consumers can get large, licensable multimodal datasets directly. The app has become very popular very quickly, with millions of daily uploads and a top-100 ranking in the App Store in many countries. The project has raised a total of $9 million, including a $5.5 million seed round in March 2026. Sebastian Thrun (founder of Waymo), Aglaé Ventures (Bernard Arnault’s fund), K5 Global, and others have all backed it.
