Swedish AI company Redpine has
raised €6.8 million in a seed funding round led by NordicNinja, with
participation from Luminar Ventures and node.vc. The investment will support
the company’s international expansion and further development of its AI data
platform.
Founded in 2024 by Anders Hammarbäck
and David Österdahl, Redpine focuses on addressing a key limitation in
artificial intelligence: the restricted availability of high-quality data.
While only a small fraction of global data is openly accessible for AI training,
the company works with content owners to unlock premium, non-public datasets in
a compliant way, enabling broader and more reliable AI applications.
Its platform operates as a headless
API interface, allowing AI companies and agents to access curated datasets
across domains, particularly in scientific and high-value fields. By combining
proprietary retrieval and reranking technology with real-time data evaluation,
Redpine aims to improve both the quality and reliability of AI outputs while
ensuring that data providers are compensated.
Anders Hammarbäck, CEO and co-founder
of Redpine, said that the company is developing infrastructure to support the
sustainable growth of a token-based agent economy for all stakeholders:
The opportunities in this space are
endless and we see applications across clinical guidelines, case law, physical
research, financial markets data, and quality human-created news.
The investment comes amid rapid
growth in the AI agent market, where access to accurate, high-quality, and
compliant data is becoming increasingly critical.
The new funding will be used to
accelerate product development, expand Redpine’s network of proprietary data
partnerships, and scale hiring across engineering, data science, and commercial
functions. The company is also collaborating with leading AI labs and
international partners, including US-based biotechnology firm AsedaSciences.
