- AI teams pay for private data that shows how real work is done, such as support conversations, code history, recordings and specialist documents.
- You license a copy for defined uses; you keep ownership and the original data.
- Rights, privacy and exclusions are worked out before any sample leaves your systems.
- Sellers pay a success fee only when a deal completes, agreed in writing before any introduction.
What AI companies buy
Data that isn't online, comes from a specialist domain, has structure and outcomes, spans years, and has clear rights. Check the data catalog to see how buyers value each type, or read how to sell data to AI companies.
How selling works
- Free consultation. You describe your systems and data in general terms. Nothing is shared.
- Assessment. We tell you honestly whether there is buyer interest, a realistic value range and what needs clearing.
- Preparation. You build a manifest, agree exclusions and arrange de-identification.
- Vetted buyers. We approach buyers we have checked, describing your data without naming you until you agree.
- Sample and terms. You share a sample under NDA directly with a buyer and agree terms.
- Direct license. You sign with the buyer and deliver a prepared export. We never take custody of raw data. Samples and transfers move directly between the parties.
What we protect you from
- Buyers who resell your data to others without your consent
- Open-ended "affiliates" language that lets copies spread
- Live system access instead of a prepared export
- Re-identification of people in your data
- Underpricing because you only spoke to one buyer
Situations we help with
- Operating companies with years of support, sales, code or document history
- Companies winding down that want to recover value from data. Read selling data from a closed company.
- Publishers and archives with books, audio, video or images
- Professional firms with expert staff who can produce evaluation or preference data

Questions
Do I have to send you data?
No. We assess from a description of systems, record types, volumes and dates. Samples are only prepared once there is real interest and go directly to a buyer under NDA.
What does it cost?
A free 30-minute initial consultation for buyers and sellers. Sellers pay a success fee only when a deal completes, agreed in writing before any introduction.
Who signs the license?
Buyers and sellers sign the license agreement directly with each other.
What if my data has personal information in it?
Most business data does. It is de-identified to a stated standard before sampling, and high-risk categories are excluded. See de-identification.
