Legitimacy evidence
- TechCrunch, 2013-03-03: CloudFactory had about 1,000 workers, almost all based in Nepal, and Sears said CloudFactory is the primary job for most of its workers, who are on a retainer to do a minimum amount of work each week. (source)
- Wikipedia, 2026-08-13: The Data annotation article states that CloudFactory, founded in 2010, developed its own workforce, combining cloud-based task distribution in a way that was aimed at providing long-term employment for workers, particularly in Nepal and Kenya. (source)
