What they do
Handshake has acquired Cleanlab, a data label-auditing company, to enhance its AI data quality capabilities. The financial terms of the acquisition were not disclosed, but it aims to integrate Cleanlab's research expertise into Handshake's operations, particularly for training frontier AI models.
Why it matters
Handshake has built a robust platform for AI data labeling and is now enhancing its capabilities by integrating Cleanlab's advanced data quality auditing technologies. This acquisition allows Handshake to produce higher-quality training data and improve the reliability of AI systems, addressing critical challenges in AI model training.
Traction
Handshake is on track to achieve an annualized revenue run rate of 'high hundreds of millions' in 2026, having reached a $300 million ARR forecast for 2025. The company has provided data for eight top AI labs, including OpenAI, and has a network of 20 million pre-vetted fellows, which positions it as a key player in the AI data ecosystem.
Where the market is going
Handshake is directly challenging established data labeling competitors like Scale AI by positioning itself as the source of talent and high-quality data, rather than a middleman. This strategic move not only enhances its service offering but also capitalizes on the increasing demand for reliable AI training data, which is essential for the next generation of AI models.
