Sell your company's data to AI companies
AI labs and the companies that supply them are licensing private business records to train models that do real work. We find out what yours are worth, check you are allowed to license them, and run the deal with buyers we have vetted.
The short answer
You sell company data to AI companies by licensing it, not handing it over. A buyer pays for the right to use a de-identified copy of specific records for training. Published payouts run from $20,000 to over $3 million per company, depending on industry, years of records and how clearly you own the rights.
Why data owners work with us
- 1
AI buyers are licensing records from companies like yours to train models on real work. We tell you in one consultation whether yours are in demand.
- 2
Every buyer we introduce passes five checks, including company identity, intended use and security, before seeing even a redacted sample of your records.
- 3
You pay nothing unless a deal completes. Our success fee is agreed in writing before we introduce you to any buyer.
- 4
Your raw data never passes through us. You sign a license directly with your chosen buyer, after your own lawyer has reviewed it.

What AI buyers pay for
The public internet is largely used up. What buyers cannot get is the record of how skilled work is actually done inside a company, with the result attached.
| Support tickets and helpdesk history | Shows how problems are diagnosed and resolved, with outcomes |
| Project, case and deal files | Complete records of skilled work from brief to result |
| Email, Slack and Teams archives | How decisions get made, with the context around them |
| Source code with PRs and issues | Private engineering history that public repositories rarely contain |
| SOPs, wikis and process documents | Step-by-step knowledge of how a business actually runs |
| CRM and sales records | Real negotiations and pipeline decisions with known results |
| Call and meeting recordings | Natural speech in a professional setting |
| Video, audio and image archives you own | Licensed media with clear rights is in high demand |
What rarely sells
Buyers check where every record came from. These usually fail that test or carry too much risk.
- Public web pages, open-source code or anything a crawler can collect
- Customer lists and contact databases on their own
- Data you bought, downloaded or scraped from someone else
- Client work you are not allowed to license
- HR files, health records and payment card data
Old archives are often the most valuable
Buyers want completed work with known outcomes, so years of closed projects, resolved tickets and finished cases are what they ask for. Closed companies can sell too, through whoever has authority to act for them.
Three ways to sell, and when each fits
| Route | Best for | Cost and trade-off |
|---|---|---|
| Apply to one buyer directly | You know which buyer fits and can run the diligence, negotiation and contract yourself | One offer, no comparison. Terms such as exclusivity are set by the buyer |
| List on a marketplace | Packaged datasets with a fixed price and simple rights | You do the packaging and rights work. Commissions published at 5% to 30% |
| Use a broker (us) | Company archives where rights, exclusions and price all need working through | A success fee on completion, agreed in writing before any introduction |
What we promise sellers
- Sellers pay nothing to be assessed. We charge a success fee only when a deal completes, and the fee is agreed in writing before we introduce you to any buyer.
- We do not take custody of your raw data. Buyers see redacted samples under a mutual NDA, and full data moves only after you sign a license directly with the buyer.
- You approve every buyer, every sample and every license term. You can withdraw at any point before signing.
- Every buyer is verified before they see a sample: company identity, intended use, security and retention commitments, onward transfer limits and, for larger deals, ability to pay.
- We are independent of the buyers we work with. We do not own an AI model and we do not buy data for our own use.
- We are a broker, not a law firm. We tell you what buyers will check and help you prepare, but you should take independent legal advice before signing any license.
Before any buyer sees your data
We check the same eight things a serious buyer's lawyers will. Clearing them first is what turns interest into a signed license.
- 1
Authority to sign
The person signing can bind the company, or the trustee, liquidator or board can act for a closed company.
- 2
Ownership and chain of title
The company created or acquired the records and holds the rights to license them, including IP assignments from staff and contractors.
- 3
Contract restrictions
Client contracts, NDAs, vendor terms and data processing agreements do not prohibit the proposed use.
- 4
Privacy notice and lawful basis
The privacy notice in force when the data was collected, and the applicable law, allow the disclosure, or the personal data is excluded.
- 5
Third-party content
Licensed content, open-source code and material owned by others is identified and either cleared or removed.
- 6
De-identification method
Direct and indirect identifiers are removed by a documented method, and a re-identification test is run on a sample.
- 7
Representative sample
The sample is drawn at random across the archive, not hand-picked, so a buyer can judge the whole package.
- 8
Manifest accuracy
Record counts, date ranges, systems and languages in the data manifest match what is actually delivered.
