Overview

Originally a distributor for photographers and designers across stock marketplaces, Wirestock pivoted in 2023 to become a data supplier for AI, offering curated and custom datasets of images, video, design assets, and 3D/gaming content. The platform has signed up more than 700,000 artists and designers and reports it supplies data to six of the largest foundation model makers. Wirestock reported an annual run-rate revenue of $40 million and has paid out $15 million to contributors; it employs about 60 people. The company uses a mix of AI and human reviews and requires applicants to complete a quality-check task before joining as contributors. Wirestock is exploring additional modalities such as audio and music and is building enterprise software and expanding teams in research, engineering, and product to scale its data-supply business. The firm shifted some internal teams to focus on annotation, labeling, and enterprise sales to meet custom dataset requests from AI customers.
