Switzerland-Based Rapidata Raises $8.5M Funding In Seed Round

The round was led by Canaan Partners and IA Ventures with participation from Acequia Capital and BlueYard.

The company intends to use the funds to scale its global human data network and support growing demand from AI companies.

Led by CEO and Founder Jason Corkill, Rapidata is an AI infrastructure company that enables AI teams to collect large volumes of human feedback. Using crowd intelligence and a global network of human participants, it reduces the time and cost required to label, validate, and refine datasets used to train and evaluate AI models.

The funding will be used to scale Rapidata’s global human data network and support growing demand from AI companies that need faster, more reliable feedback to train, validate, and improve their models in an increasingly competitive market.

“Human feedback has become the limiting factor in AI progress,” said Jason Corkill, CEO and founder of Rapidata. “Rapidata removes that ceiling by making human judgment available at a global scale and near real time, unlocking a future where AI teams can run constant feedback loops and build systems that evolve every day instead of every release cycle. At this speed of iteration, entirely new AI innovation becomes possible.”
