About

AI models degrade without fresh human content, yet creators earn nothing when AI consumes their work. Platforms like Reddit and News Corp negotiate nine-figure licensing deals, but the millions of independent creators AI also depends on have no mechanism to get paid. Grove is that mechanism. Creators join Grove and get a profile page that works like Linktree with payments built in. A curated feed surfaces their best content, and every payment scores both the creator and what they made — building a payment-verified quality index that AI teams and agents pay to query. Human curation builds the index. Agent payments scale the revenue. Think of it as the Michelin Guide for the AI internet: economic commitment is the quality filter, not free votes.

Grove is one of 10 Artificial Intelligence (AI) companies we track in Tampa Bay — 8% of the region's 130 startups.
