Building the open platform for AI training
OpenTrain is a transparent talent marketplace connecting AI companies with vetted trainers and data labelers — with published pricing, live-proctored vetting, and one platform across 20+ annotation tools.
Mission
The AI training industry runs on opacity — hidden pricing, black-box vetting, and fragmented tooling. We started OpenTrain because we believed the people building the world's most important AI models deserved a marketplace that was transparent, fair, and actually worked for them.
We're building one platform where AI companies can find and hire vetted trainers at published prices — and where freelancers can manage their entire career across 20+ annotation platforms from a single profile.
