SignSplit raises $400M seed round at $1B valuation, exits stealth

Seed

The startup turns personal data into a licensable asset, betting AI's next bottleneck is consented human data, not compute.

  • SignSplit emerged from stealth with a $400 million strategic seed round led by W Group, valuing the company at $1 billion.
  • SignSplit's platform lets people and institutions protect, license and get paid for their data, work and likeness, creating 'signed data' with consent and provenance attached.
  • The financing pairs capital with a multi-year package of strategic resources from W Group to support SignSplit's global rollout.
  • Founded in 2024 by Glib Denisov and CEO Alessandro Monterosso, who previously co-founded clinical-data startup PatchAi, sold in 2021.
  • Lead backer W Group is a global fintech and technology ecosystem serving more than 40 million users.
  • As AI models increasingly train on real-world human data, infrastructure that formalizes consent and compensation could reshape who captures value from that data.
