90 Million Verified US Creators Reached, 100M In Striking Distance
KALO IQ today announced its database of hand-verified US creators has reached 90 million, putting the 100M milestone within reach by end of Q1 2026. Verification cadence has held steady at over 3.5 million new profiles per month.
Coverage breakdown
The 90M figure breaks down as Instagram (38M), TikTok (28M), YouTube (16M) plus X (8M). The depth at the nano-influencer band (1K to 10K followers) continues to be the fastest-growing segment as creators new to the platforms get added through the rolling verification queue.
10-year anniversary context
The milestone comes weeks before KALO IQ's 10-year anniversary in December 2025. The company has scaled from concept to industry-leading verified creator dataset over the decade plus continues to maintain hand-verification as the standard for every profile entering the database.
On track for 100M
With 10 verification team members plus current monthly throughput, KALO IQ remains on pace to announce 100M verified US creators by the end of Q1 2026.
