Mercor

Mercor (operating at mercor.com) is an AI data infrastructure platform engineered for the emerging AI economy. Founded by its three founders—who became the youngest self-made billionaires in the sector—and headquartered in San Francisco, California, Mercor redefines how AI models are trained by leveraging human expertise at scale. Unlike traditional AI training methods that rely on static datasets, Mercor connects frontier AI labs with specialized human intelligence, enabling dynamic, real-time data augmentation. This allows research institutions, AI labs, and enterprises to accelerate model development, benchmark performance, and deploy AI agents with higher accuracy and adaptability. With a valuation of $10 billion and $492 million in raised funding across four rounds, Mercor has paid out over $50 million to global businesses while positioning itself as a critical enabler for the next generation of AI innovation.
