General Catalyst just co-led a $31.5 million seed round into a blatant rip-off of my company, Kled. (skip to 40 seconds if you want to skip context) I would typically not speak on things like this, but this level of blatant copycatting is egregious and completely unacceptable, and needs to be made an example of. This is one of hundreds of YC startups who have conducted this disgusting behavior. Unimaginative slop that continues to get rewarded due to nepotism.

I just found out that Luel AI, the company that completely copied my company Kled's entire website, is misrepresenting their compliance practices, using Delve to outsource it, fabricating their website user numbers, and pulling in massive amounts of fraud data from exclusively fraud oriented regions. Skip to 1:15 if you want to skip context. You truly cannot make this up. This is egregious, disgusting behavior from everyone involved. This is people's data. It cannot be taken lightly. The only way a company like this can truly succeed is by investing the time and resources to commit 100% to the trust and compliance of their users' data. Luel AI is doing the exact opposite. Disgusting behavior for a company trusted with people's data.

we built the largest opt in human data collection effort in history. - 3 million files uploaded daily - 200,000+ data contributors in 2 weeks - data contributors earning up to $6,400 per month 12,000+ structured datasets created spanning egocentric data, medical data (e.g., radiology scans), urban travel data, etc. all collected through distributed human-in-the-loop capture.

Introducing Kled-FD 0.1, the world's best fraud detection and dataset cleaning pipeline. The first all in one system capable of detecting AI generated content, near duplicates, stolen and plagiarized media, screenshots, manipulated and spliced content, NSFW and explicit material, minors and age sensitive content, sensitive and harmful content, and coordinated behavioral fraud rings. Kled-FD 0.1 has been battle tested across 1.2 billion uploads on Kled's data marketplace and is actively running quality checks on over 5 million uploads per day across image, video, audio, and text. Public benchmarks will be released soon. This is the first real step toward making data quality enforcement a humanless process.

We’re launching a coin for a new vertical within the world of intellectual property, focused entirely on AI data licensing. AI companies are spending billions of dollars on data (video, text, sound, etc) to train their models. Kled is the middleman. We partner with top film studios and production houses, label their video content, and sell it to AI companies like OpenAI to help train models like ChatGPT, Sora, Midjourney and more. So far, we've already sold millions of hours of data. Our next drop includes 3 million hours of footage, with deals ranging from $2–5 per minute. We've strategically raised $2 million from investors such as K5 Global, who back Uber, Xai and more, alongside creators like Alex Botez and Panda Boi who stand by our platform and its goals. We're excited to bring this project of ours on chain, where we find that it'll benefit most from the space's interactivity and leaders alike. $KLED is now live on Believe

our biggest focus for the next 2 months at kled is trust & safety. so we built a fully public audit trail for every single upload on the app, updates automatically the second it's made. the moment we send data to an AI lab, they can search the hash ID of any image, video, doc, or audio file and see exactly: - the tos + privacy policy the user signed - every compliance check we ran - anonymized kyc proof - confirmation the user got paid - a full timestamp of the entire interaction start to finish any ai lab can now verify the legitimacy of any dataset in seconds, making us the first data marketplace in history to publicize its data audit records. consumer identities are fully anonymized and hidden, no users will be exposed in the process.

Kled Version 3 is coming. Over $20M+ in rewards will be paid directly to users from leading AI labs across robotics, legal services, image and video generation, world modeling, and more. In the last seven days, we’ve received inbound data requests from several decacorn AI labs and enterprises for datasets our human data marketplace is uniquely positioned to provide. Since receiving the specs for these requests, we now have a much better picture and understanding of how to reshape the systems that collect this data, so here’s what’s coming: 1. A fully redesigned home experience: The home feed is being rebuilt to surface the highest-value, most relevant tasks for each user, similar to how Uber Eats surfaces top restaurants. The goal is to turn every user into their most effective version as a data contributor. 2. Automated quality enforcement at scale: New ML systems are being built to evaluate task-specific requirements in real time. For example, if a task requires “two hands visible on camera at all times,” any video that fails that spec will be automatically rejected. This logic will apply across thousands of tasks and specifications using a general ML. 3. Kled Shop: Some tasks require better capture hardware. We’re introducing Kled Shop, where users can redeem points or tokens for equipment like Meta glasses, drones, and other tools. Points and tokens can be converted directly from payouts. 4. Partner-run data labeling and evaluation work: Some of our partners operate high-paying data labeling and model evaluation programs. We’re integrating their workflows directly into Kled so qualified users can access these roles in one place. These jobs are owned and managed by our partners. Kled’s role is to route the right people to the right work. Some opportunities pay $50–$1,000 per hour depending on expertise. 5. Global payouts and localization: We’re partnering with a major payment processor to enable cashouts in users’ native currencies. This unlocks broader global participation. Multi-language support is also coming to accelerate user growth. This full suite of tools will be rolling out soon, directly to Kled users. Top earners are currently making ~$7,000 per month. With this update, we should see the first ~$10,000 per month earner.

Fun fact: I’ve got 8,000+ hours on Fortnite. But in high school, my parents wouldn’t buy me a PC, so I played on an iPad. In class. Every day. Got so good I was beating 99% of PC players on touch controls. It got banned from the App Store for 4 years. I haven’t played since. Just found out it’s back on the App Store. I’m washed, but here’s a clip of me building today, trying to tap back into my prime. Muscle memory is a crazy thing:

The $KLED Enterprise Portal Full Demo – Search and License Any Data in Seconds: For the last 6 weeks, we've had thousands of users sign up for the first data marketplace. We've paid out over $200,000 to them for uploading their camera rolls, homework, dashcam footage, etc. We've now amassed petabytes and petabytes of data from these users and large enterprises, and tagged it all with rich metadata. Now OpenAI, xAI, Google AI, or any other large lab can easily search and license that data using our newly completed enterprise portal. If you're a large lab, send me a DM and get access to the largest, never-before-seen consumer dataset on the planet. This is the biggest update for Kled since launch.
