“AI companies that care about their workforce pay better,” said Ruben Galindo, Co-founder and CEO of Airtm. “By integrating with Airtm, Sapien is leading by example – eliminating inefficiencies and ensuring that their contributors are paid on time, no matter where they are in the world. This is just one example of how Airtm empowers businesses operating in AI, market research, and digital economies by removing financial barriers and optimizing global payouts.”
Supporting AI Companies with Faster Payouts
The AI industry is rapidly expanding, with demand for high-quality structured data at an all-time high. However, cross-border payouts remain challenging for many AI-driven platforms that rely on distributed workforces.
“At Sapien, we believe that the people powering AI deserve to be paid fairly, quickly, and without friction,” said Rowan Stone, Sapien CEO. “By partnering with Airtm, we’re ensuring that our contributors—no matter where they are in the world—get paid faster and with fewer barriers. This is a crucial step in our mission to build a more inclusive and efficient future for AI-driven work.“
The partnership underscores Airtm’s growing role in supporting AI and BPO companies by providing flexible, efficient, and scalable payment solutions for digital workers. As more AI platforms scale globally, reliable financial infrastructure will be crucial in maintaining efficiency and worker satisfaction. With Airtm, paying better isn’t just possible—it’s the new standard.
