Redpine Raises €6.8M To Open Up Private Data For The Agentic AI Era

The round was led by NordicNinja, with participation from Luminar Ventures and node.vc.

The startup has also attracted backing from notable tech founders and operators, including Peter Sarlin, Patrik Tran, and Anna Nordell Westling, along with leaders from OpenAI, Perplexity AI, and Spotify.

Founded in 2024 by Anders Hammarbäck and David Österdahl, Redpine addresses a key issue in AI many startups rely on the same scraped internet data, leading to little differentiation and no compensation for original content creators.

Its platform works as an API layer that allows AI agents to access, retrieve, and pay for high-quality datasets in real time using a token-based model. It also evaluates data quality continuously, ensuring reliable and up-to-date information.
Redpine focuses on critical sectors like healthcare, legal, finance, scientific research, and news areas where inaccurate data can lead to serious consequences.

While competitors like Scale AI, Appen, and Defined.ai rely on human data annotation, Redpine offers a more advanced, API-first approach that delivers licensed data directly to AI systems in real time.

The new funding will be used to expand internationally, hire talent in engineering and data science, and grow its proprietary data network. Over the next few years, Redpine aims to become a global leader in AI data, setting new standards for how data is accessed, valued and monetized in an AI-driven world.

“As we saw with music, a piracy-based scraping economy is only transient until a solid solution appears. The analogy is precise: Spotify didn’t defeat piracy by making it illegal it defeated it by making licensed access easier and better than the alternative,” founders share with Tech Funding News.
