SignSplit Public Benefit Corporation, a Delaware startup developer of a platform for the protection, licensing and remuneration of data of use to the artificial intelligence that Alessandro Monterosso and Glib Denisov founded in 2024, joined the Unicorn Club after it secured a strategic seed round of 400 million US Dollars from global fintech W Group, a firm that Volodymyr Nosov created and owns cryptocurrencies trading platform WhiteBIT, for a post-money value of un billion US Dollars (see here a previous post by BeBeez). W Group’s investment in SignSplit is a diversification move from its original activities in digital financial services and blockchain infrastructure and marks its entry into a market potentially linked to the development of AI systems and the management of digital rights. Nosov said to Forbes Ukraine that W Group acquired 40% of SignSplit ahead of appointing one board member while the founders will remain in charge of operational management. The investor will pour 400 million US Dollars in more instalments upon the achivement of targets. The funding blends equity with a multi-year package of strategic resources in support of the platform’s technological development, distribution and international expansion. SignSplit emerged from its stealth phase following the announcement of the investment, unveiling a platform that aims to create what it calls the ‘signed-data economy’, a market in which individuals and organisations can licence data, knowledge, creative works, images, voices and other forms of human contribution, whilst setting out the terms of use, rights and remuneration in advance.
