Redpine Launches to Fuel the AI Development of the World
Sep 16, 2025
STOCKHOLM, September 16, 2025 – After operating in stealth since 2024, Redpine today announced its official launch with a clear mission: to give AI developers and agentic AI systems secure access to licensed, high-quality data.
The lack of specialized, high-quality data remains the most significant bottleneck to advancing AI - a challenge that continues to slow progress. In fields like healthcare, accounting, law, or robotics there’s no room for hallucinations. Easy access to better data is necessary.
Redpine was established to unlock the best data, by empowering content owners to generate new and fair revenue streams from their data. The company is tapping into the global AI training data market, projected to grow from USD 3.59 billion in 2025 to USD 17.04 billion by 2032 at a CAGR of 24.9%.
Founded by experienced tech builders Anders Hammarbäck (McKinsey, Antler etc) and David Österdahl (Spotify, iZettle etc), Redpine has built a global platform for AI data infrastructure, connecting companies building top performing AI to premium, domain-specific content in text, images, video, and audio. The company has secured $1.2 million in funding from prominent angel investors and established partnerships with leading LLMs and content owners worldwide. Early investors include Colin Evans (OpenAI), Feng Hong (Co-founder, Xiaomi), Anna Nordell Westling (Co-founder, Sana Labs), Daniel Langkilde (Founder, Kognic; previously Recorded Future) and Spotify Alumni.
“AI is changing the world but still operates with critical blind spots,” said Anders Hammarbäck, CEO & Co-founder of Redpine. “We reduce hallucinations and increase accuracy by giving AI, including autonomous agents, the right data: high quality, licensed and in real-time. That’s how we help AI not just respond better, but reason, decide, and act in the real world.”
Many AI companies have used copyright data without license - and lawsuits have followed. Recently, IT-firm Anthropic agreed to settle the largest ever copyright infringements of books for 1.5bn USD and others are expected to follow suit. Also the EU has required AI firms to declare which AI data they use to train their models.
The legal challenges of using licensed data has been a persistent barrier slowing down innovation and limiting access. Redpine thinks there’s a better way forward: unlocking data through smart licensing deals, and better technical access to the data.
The Redpine platform makes multi-modal data - including text, images, video, code and audio - available to companies developing top-performing AI solutions through a combination of big data licensing and real-time APIs, supporting everything from pre-training and post-training to inference and evaluations with the highest grade of domain-specific knowledge. The platform has access to over 100 billion tokens of data in vast domains, including medical, coding and scientific data. The repository is growing fast.
Redpine is already working with some of the world’s most prominent publishing houses, quality domain-specific data players, and leading AI Labs in Silicon Valley and beyond. The company’s closed beta has attracted high-profile attention. Colin M Evans of OpenAI, sees the company’s approach as pivotal for the next wave of AI:
“Redpine is another example of solid AI startups coming out of the Nordics. They’re solving one of AI’s biggest challenges - access to high-quality data - and doing it for both well-served and underserved regions globally. I’m proud to be an early backer. - Colin M Evans, angel investor in Redpine (3x founder, Startups and VC Partnerships @OpenAI)"
