About MLtwist

We label and prepare training data

MLtwist labels your data, fills the gaps with synthetic data, and gets it ready for the tools you already use. Our team, yours, or both. Founded in 2021 in Santa Clara, California.

Leadership

Built by people who've run labeling at scale

David Smith

Co-founder & CEO

Born and raised in Silicon Valley. Computer engineering at UC Davis, then data and adtech roles at DoubleClick, Google, and Oracle, with four acquisitions along the way. Founded MLtwist after seeing that ETL tools couldn't answer AI's questions: where did this data come from, who touched it, and what rights do you have?

Audrey Smith

Chief Operating Officer

Led machine learning labeling operations at AI leaders including Amazon, deploying hundreds of labeling programs across text, image, audio, and video. Runs MLtwist's delivery: quality, speed, and cost on every program.
