Problem
AI models are only as capable as the data they are trained on, yet much of the highest-quality human expertise and enterprise knowledge exists in proprietary or inaccessible sources. AI labs struggle to find datasets that are both rights-cleared and unavailable on the open web, limiting model performance and creating legal uncertainty around data usage.
Solution
Sphere operates a data marketplace that sources, verifies, and structures proprietary human and enterprise expertise into high-quality, rights-cleared datasets for AI training, fine-tuning, and evaluation. The platform goes directly to the source, working with individuals, enterprises, and institutions to forge their knowledge into structured datasets with full provenance, consent, and metadata. For robotics, Sphere provides specialized data engines, including teleoperation trajectories and environment-specific task libraries, to improve low-level control and dexterity. Buyers receive training-ready exports with citation metadata, while rights holders control commercial terms, scope, and exclusivity through a transparent licensing marketplace.
Target Audience
Primary customers are AI labs, leading AI companies, governments, and research institutions that need proprietary, rights-cleared data for training, fine-tuning, and evaluation. Rights holders include enterprises, institutions, and individuals seeking to license their expertise for recurring commercial value.
