What does AfterQuery buy?
AfterQuery licenses records of how teams work across their tools, including email, chat, tickets, CRM, support and finance, usually over several years. Its data partnerships page names target industries from healthcare, legal and accounting to construction, logistics and software, and says payroll, privileged legal material and credentials are never used. You choose which teams, systems and time window are included, and many partnerships start with one department.
How does an AfterQuery data partnership work?
An AfterQuery data partnership runs from an inquiry and a mutual NDA to a sample review, agreed terms, secure transfer with de-identification, and then payment. AfterQuery proposes terms after the sample review but publishes no price range or payment date. Decrypt reported in September 2026, citing Forbes, that AfterQuery was valued at $3.2 billion, with NVIDIA, Thinking Machines Lab and Legora among its customers.
