15 Million Verified US Creators Now in the KALO IQ Database
KALO IQ today announced that its database of hand-verified American creators has reached 15 million profiles across Instagram, TikTok plus YouTube. The milestone represents 50% growth over the prior six months and reflects an accelerated verification cadence by the company's 6-person review team.
What the milestone reflects
Reaching 15 million verified profiles means KALO IQ's coverage of US-resident creators with over 5,000 followers is now substantially complete across the three major Western platforms. Verification throughput averaged 850,000 new profiles per month over the prior quarter.
How verification works
Every profile entering the database passes a manual review by KALO IQ's 6-person team. Reviewers check follower authenticity using behavioral patterns, audience location distributions plus engagement timing. Profiles that fail any check are excluded.
The rejection rate on initial submissions runs at 18%, dominated by non-US residency plus follower count inflation patterns.
What it means for brands
US DTC brands using KALO IQ now have a discovery pool that covers virtually any niche they need to target. The depth at the long-tail (creators in the 5K to 50K follower band) is particularly strong since that band has historically been underserved by global platforms.
