A briefing for business owners
Your company's data has value.
AI companies are paying established businesses to license the internal data they already hold: emails, documents, CRM and project history.
Check if you qualify — 10 minutes*Pricing is set by the buyer after reviewing your data and is not guaranteed.
AI needs to learn how real businesses work.
AI is moving from chatbots to agents that do real work. To learn, they need real examples of how businesses run: how a ticket gets solved, how a deal closes, how a project is delivered. That data isn't on the internet. It's inside companies like yours.
A one-off fee
A licence payment for data you already hold.
You keep your data
It's a licence, not a sale. You carry on trading as normal.
Why now
Demand is high and few firms know yet. Prices are expected to fall as more come forward.
Years of emails, documents and records are already sitting on your systems. For the first time, they have a buyer.
Four steps. No commitment until you sign.
