SignSplit, a Delaware-based signed-data infrastructure company, has emerged from stealth with a $400 million strategic seed round at a $1 billion valuation.
The round was led by W Group, which is also providing strategic resources to support SignSplit’s global expansion.
Founded in 2024, SignSplit is building infrastructure designed to help people and institutions license and monetize their data, work and likeness as AI and robotics companies increasingly rely on real-world human data.
The company calls this model the “signed-data economy.” Its platform allows contributors to provide data, knowledge, skills or likeness with defined consent, provenance and usage terms while receiving compensation.
SignSplit also provides a verification layer that allows AI systems, social platforms and other digital services to identify signed content and access information about its provenance, consent and usage rights.
The company was founded by Glib Denisov, who serves as Co-Founder, Executive Chairman and Chief Product Officer, while Alessandro Monterosso serves as Co-Founder and CEO.
“SignSplit provides solutions for a world where the boundary between human experience and technology is becoming increasingly fluid,” said Alessandro Monterosso, Co-Founder and CEO of SignSplit. “As AI reaches further into the real world, human knowledge, creativity, skills and identity will become increasingly connected to how technology evolves and interacts with the world around us. We believe SignSplit and the use of signed data can become the bridge between the two, connecting human contribution with protection, participation and compensation as technology advances.”
“SignSplit brings a new standard for the use of individuals’ and institutions’ data, work and likenesses,” said Volodymyr Nosov, Founder and President of W Group. “We believe that every serious participant in AI and the data economy will come to rely on SignSplit’s infrastructure. The scale of our commitment reflects both how early we believe we are, and how important we believe these solutions are for every industry that relies on human data.”
SignSplit was founded in 2024 by Glib Denisov, Co-Founder, Executive Chairman and Chief Product Officer. “When we started SignSplit in 2024, we were building for where we believed AI was going, not where it was at the time,” said Glib Denisov. “We saw that the next generation of AI would need more than additional data — it would need higher-quality, real-world data with clear provenance, permission and rights attached to it.”
SignSplit said the new capital will support its operations, product development and global rollout as it works to build infrastructure around data ownership and licensing for the growing AI economy.
W Group’s founder and president, Volodymyr Nosov, said the group believes SignSplit’s infrastructure could become an important part of the AI and data economy as demand for human-generated data grows.
