For U.S. businesses and nonprofits
Your company’s operating data could be worth $100K–$5M.
Qualified U.S. businesses can get paid for a de-identified copy of operating history they already own. That copy is used for AI research and training. Your original records and systems stay with you.
- Indicative payout range
- $100K–$5M
- What is purchased
- An agreed, filtered copy
The range is indicative only and is not a guaranteed offer. Any payment depends on a review of your systems, operating history, record volume and quality, ownership, and access terms.
How it works
-
Tell us about your business
Share your company’s size, operating history, and the systems you use. This first conversation is used to see whether a review makes sense.
-
Review the offer and approve the scope
If an offer is made, you review the value, terms, approved systems, and date ranges. Nothing is exported until that scope is agreed in writing.
-
The agreed copy is prepared, then you are paid
Your team signs in to the approved systems. The agreed copy is exported and de-identified, and payment is made under the terms of the written agreement. You do not hand over passwords, and no change to day-to-day operations is required.
The process usually takes about three months from the first conversation through payment. Timing depends on scope, rights review, contracting, and export. Expected milestones are set out in writing.
What “de-identified” means
Work is done on an agreed copy of your records, not in your live systems. Sensitive material is removed, and personal identifiers such as names and contact details are removed or transformed before the copy is delivered for AI research and training. The useful operating history remains; your original records stay where they are.
The filtered copy is provided for AI research and training under the rights and restrictions in your agreement. It is not published as a report about your company, and unfiltered source records are not provided to AI developers.
You keep ownership of your original records and systems. The agreement defines the scope of the copy being purchased and any exclusivity. You control which systems and date ranges are included.
Who is the strongest fit
Companies and nonprofits with several years of operating records they own, and teams primarily based in the United States, are the strongest fit. Typical minimums are:
- Legal: 6 or more employees
- Accounting, finance, and medical: 10 or more employees
- All other businesses or nonprofits: 30 or more employees
Records can include sources such as email and calendar, documents and files, chat, calls and transcripts, CRM, and billing or operations systems. The approved systems and date ranges are agreed before any export. Companies outside the U.S. are reviewed case by case.
