Sell or license your company's data to AI labs, with someone on your side
For owners, executives and authorized representatives. We represent you, not the buyer. We check what you can legally license, put your data in front of the buyers most likely to pay, and make sure the terms protect you after the money lands.
Who qualifies this quarter
| Size | 20 or more employees. Some buyers want 30, the largest want 50. |
| History | 3 or more years on the same tools. A software switch resets the clock. |
| Language | Data in English. De-identification tooling is English-first. |
| Location | US first, then UK, Canada, Australia. |
| Work style | Work that happens in writing. Remote-first, white-collar teams have the richest data. |
Under the floor? Tell us anyway. Demand rotates by industry month to month.
What pays

| Slack or Teams threads | Decisions argued out, including rejected options |
| CRM history | Deals through stages, won or lost |
| Email, boards, approvals | Handoffs between people and systems |
| Code with issues and reviews | Why the code looks the way it does |

| Email archive alone | No tickets, chat or CRM around it |
| Marketing copy, finished reports | Reasoning edited out |
| Client files under a master agreement | Belong to the client |
| Public or scraped material | Labs already have it |
| Data whose value is the identities | Nothing left after stripping |

What moves your number: continuous years on the same tools, visible reasoning, a rare industry, clean rights.
Questions sellers ask first
We have 15 people. Worth asking?
Yes. The floor moves. Some buyers take 20 and up, some want 50. A small company in a rare trade with ten years on one ticketing system can beat a bigger generic one. If nobody is buying your shape right now, you get a straight no and we keep your details for when they are.
We switched CRM two years ago. Does the old history count?
Only if it exported cleanly and still links to the rest. Buyers score continuous years on the same tools.
Our data contain customer names. Problem?
Expected. A third-party vendor replaces names, emails, phones and account numbers with stable pseudonyms before any buyer sees a sample. Data whose whole value is who the people are is not sellable.
Can we sell data now and sell the company later?
Yes. It comes up in due diligence, so the exclusivity term is timed to your exit. The license payment is one-time and does not count toward EBITDA.
Who is liable if something leaks?
Under most contracts, everyone in the chain. That is why the vendor holds raw files about a week and deletes them, why you review a sample first, and why handling terms are written into the license and the transaction is insured.
