Protege

There are three fundamental bottlenecks to AI progress: models, chips, and data. We have model builders and chip producers, but data is the bottleneck to AI progress. Protege is the trusted data infrastructure layer that’s here to solve that. Curated, licensed, privacy-protected data, ready for AI. 2025 was a banner year: we facilitated tens of millions of dollars in transactions for AI companies worldwide, including the majority of the Magnificent Seven. We unlocked tens of millions in revenue for data and content rights-holders worldwide. But we’re just getting started. 2026 and beyond will require the full breadth and depth of the data that’s naturally generated by people living their normal lives — from healthcare to video to audio to motion capture, and much, much more. Come build with us! We’re hiring for roles across the team. Daisy Wolf Eva Steinman a16z Nikhil Basu Trivedi Footwork saar gur CRV Bloomberg Beta Flex Capital SV Angel
