Company
Luel
Turning everyday words and actions into usable training data.
We build a sourcing and licensing platform that turns everyday human language and actions into high-quality, rights-cleared multimodal datasets. Our customers are frontier AI teams who need bespoke and off-the-shelf training data collections that are properly licensed and scalable.
We live in San Francisco, and Luel will be based here after YC as well.
San Francisco is where we have access to top engineering talent and are close to the frontier AI ecosystem and early customers actively building complex AI models that need quality data.
