Problem
The AI industry depends on vast amounts of human-generated data, yet the people who produce that data are typically treated as passive scrape targets rather than compensated suppliers. Contributors lack transparency into how their data is used, have no meaningful control over permissions, and face unclear or absent deletion policies that leave their personal information circulating indefinitely.
Solution
Zero Billion operates a consumer research lab that builds tools to amplify what people can make and runs a marketplace that pays contributors for their data. The platform connects individuals with paid data tasks across 16 modalities—ranging from voice recordings and videos to screenshots, research interviews, and expert judgment. Contributors build a profile once, get matched to qualifying tasks automatically, and receive payouts through Stripe rails. The company emphasizes ethical data practices with a transparent consent center where every permission is listed and revocable, anonymization by default unless a task explicitly pays for likeness, and a deletion policy that removes contributions from the pipeline entirely with no shadow copies or dark archives.
Target Audience
Zero Billion serves two primary customer groups: individual contributors seeking to monetize their skills, voice, video, and everyday workflows, and businesses or AI researchers purchasing high-quality human data to train frontier models.
