Artificial intelligence (AI) is one of the key technologies of the coming years. The basis for the success of AI models is the data with which they are trained. But how can you ensure that this data actually comes from real people and not generated by bots?
The founding team of Jobgrader has developed a solution to exactly this problem: They provide a marketplace that offers companies trustworthy AI training data. This data is generated by a separate crowdworking community in the Jobgrader app. Users are required to verify in order to complete microjobs and receive cryptocurrencies in return.
The team, consisting of Sandra Janicijevic and Oliver Nägele from Frankfurt am Main, brings extensive experience in the area of blockchain-based digital identities based on many years of experience in the startup world. They recognized the opportunity to improve the quality and reliability of AI data by using these technologies. Following the launch of a beta version of the marketplace and the onboarding of test users, the official market launch should take place soon.
We spoke to the founders about the path to their product and vision.
When did you start?
We were just founded on 21.03.2024. Our company is called Jobgrader Innovations. Our offer comprises two products: The Jobgrader app for our global crowdworking community — the name of our company is also derived from this. And humanindata for companies that need AI data training. Our business model is therefore B2B2C.
What type of service do you offer?
We offer a marketplace for trustworthy AI data training, where only verified, verified people take on AI training jobs. This verification ensures that jobs are done by real people and not by bots or people who pretend to be someone else. This is a method we use to ensure the quality of the results.
Our on-demand solution humanindata enables companies to bring their AI data training jobs to our marketplace. There, they are passed on directly to our exclusively verified crowdworking community. It is an extremely effective process.
How did you come up with the idea for your service?
Over the past nine years, my co-founder Oliver and I have worked intensively on digital trust, digital identity and the related topics of Web3 and blockchain. We recognized the need to improve AI data quality by using verified people to achieve more reliable AI results. If data is the foundation of AI, where does bad AI data lead? This scary scenario kept us very busy and motivated us to develop a solution.
What is your vision/mission?
Our vision is to improve the quality and reliability of AI systems. Our mission is to provide trustworthy AI data training through the unique combination of true Humans-In-The-Loop and the benefits of Web3 technology.
Who is your target group?
Our target group is companies that are already using AI systems either internally for their employees or externally for their customers, or are planning to do so, or both. We help these companies avoid legal risks, financial losses, and reputational damage by providing them with reliable and trustworthy data.
What does your roadmap look like?
Our next short-term steps include launching our beta version to onboard the first pilot customers on humanindata, and preparing test user groups for the Jobgrader app. We are planning our official product launch and market launch in Germany by the end of Q3.
How did you hear about Tokenize.it?
We've been looking for innovative ways to raise capital that fit our technological approach. We came across you through recommendations within our network.
What prompted you to use this type of fundraising?
The completely digital investment process and the ability to effectively raise capital have convinced us. Tokenize.it offers a modern and flexible method by issuing GmbH tokens. This allows us to involve investors in a transparent and accessible way.
What was the reaction of your investors to the introduction of GmbH tokens?
The reaction from our investors was mostly positive. One investor commented: “Tokenize.it reflects your innovative thinking and future-oriented approach. It enables transparent and accessible participation that creates trust and supports the company's growth.”
