Wilmington, Del., Oct. 5, 2026 — SignSplitPBC emerged from stealth today with a $400 million strategic seed round secured with W Group, valuing SignSplit at $1 billion. The financing commitment combines capital with a multi‑year package of strategic resources to support SignSplit’s global rollout. W Group is described as a global fintech and technology ecosystem serving more than 40 million users.
SignSplit enables people and institutions to protect, license and contribute their data, work and likeness, connecting contributors with demand for real‑world human data across AI, research and media. The company calls this approach “signed data,” and says it pairs contributor consent and provenance with defined terms for use and compensation.
SignSplit’s “signed data” model
SignSplit provides a platform where AI and robotics companies, researchers and other organizations can access data and research pools built around specific needs, while contributors supply real‑world data, knowledge and skills and receive compensation for their participation. The offering includes a verification layer for data, work and likeness designed to enable AI systems, social media platforms and other digital services to identify signed content and access its associated provenance, consent and terms.
“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.”
Strategic backing from W Group
The financing is described as a strategic seed round that pairs investment with long‑term resources to aid SignSplit’s global expansion. “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.”
