Neon Raises Over $25 Million in Equity and Credit for Consumer Data Platform

Neon raised over $25 million in combined equity and credit from Lightspeed Venture Partners, Upper90, Upfront Ventures and other investors on March 25, 2026. The round brings Neon’s total funding to nearly $27 million after a $1.5 million pre-seed led by Upfront with Wilson Sonsini and Xfund. Neon’s app helps consumers monetize personal data and provides AI companies with training data from audio and video interactions. Neon’s mobile app became the #2 free app on the U.S. App Store within eight days of launch. Neon has licensed over 400,000 hours of audio to five AI labs since closing its first deal in January.
