News publisher catalog
A major news company's archive and ongoing content, licensed to an AI developer.
Data licensing brokerage
Your company's data is worth real money to AI labs.
AI developers need real-world business data to train and test their models: support tickets, sales calls, code history, operating records. We find what's licensable in your company, package it to buyer standards, and negotiate the deal on your side of the table.

The market
Data is now a line item on AI budgets.
Public web text is running out, so model developers are paying for the non-public record of how real businesses work. A few publicly reported deals show the scale.

Online community platform
Ongoing access to user discussion data for model training.

Airline operating archive
A company's internal operational records, bid for as a standalone AI training asset.
These figures come from public news reporting and are shown for market context only. They are not DataForCash.AI transactions. Most data deals are confidential, and smaller companies typically license for five or six figures depending on what they hold.
What qualifies
The record of how your business actually works.
Buyers pay for data they can't scrape: real workflows, with the outcome attached, over years. Volume matters less than depth, history, and how well records connect across systems.
Customer support
Tickets & resolutions
Help desk history where each issue shows how it was diagnosed and solved. Ideal for training support agents.
Demand

Code & review history
Repositories with years of commits, pull request reviews, bug reports and fixes.

Email & internal chat
Slack, Teams, and email threads that show how decisions get made and work gets done.

CRM & call recordings
Pipelines with won and lost outcomes, plus recorded calls with real objections and negotiation.

How it works
From scattered files to a signed license.
We run the process end to end. You approve every dataset and every term before anything leaves your company.
Step 1 · Assess
Inventory what you hold
A short call to map your systems, years of history, and record types. You get a realistic read on what's valuable and what isn't, at no cost.
- Systems & tools
- Years of history
- Outcome coverage
Step 2 · Scope
Clear rights and protect privacy
We confirm what you own and what contracts exclude, then coordinate removal of personal details to the buyer's documented standard. Sensitive material stays out.
- Rights review
- De-identification
- Exclusions you control
Step 3 · Match
Put it in front of the right buyers
We present your dataset, anonymously, to AI developers and data partners actively buying in your category, and create competition for it.
- Anonymous listing
- Sample evaluation
- Competing offers
Step 4 · License
Negotiate, sign, get paid
We negotiate price, scope, exclusivity, and usage limits on your behalf. You keep ownership and can license the same data again where terms allow.
- Flat or recurring fees
- Usage limits
- You keep ownership
Why use a broker
Someone on your side of the deal.
AI buyers negotiate data deals every week. Most companies do it once. We close that gap.
We represent the seller
Our interest is the same as yours: the best price and the tightest terms for your data.
Paid only when you are
No retainers or setup fees. Our commission comes out of a closed deal, so we only win when you do.
Confidential by default
Buyers see a dataset profile, not your company name, until you choose to proceed.
Built for repeat income
Structured well, one dataset can be licensed to several buyers or refreshed into a recurring feed.
Data value estimator
What could your data license for?
Nine quick questions about your company and its records. You'll get a ballpark range and the factors driving it. Takes about two minutes, and nothing is sent anywhere.

Questions
Straight answers.
Have something we didn't cover? Ask us directly. A first conversation is free and comes with no obligation.
Am I selling my data?
No. In a license you keep ownership and grant a buyer the right to use a copy for defined purposes, such as model training, for a defined term. Depending on the terms, you can license the same data to other buyers too.
What about customer and employee privacy?
Personal details are removed or replaced with pseudonyms before anything is shared, to the standard the buyer documents in the agreement. Anything you consider sensitive can be excluded entirely, and you approve the final scope.
Is my company too small for this?
Often not. Value comes from uniqueness, years of history, and records with outcomes, not headcount. A small firm with a decade of specialized records can be more interesting to a buyer than a large company with generic data.
How do you get paid?
We earn a commission on the deals we close for you, paid from the proceeds. There are no upfront fees, and if no deal closes you owe nothing.
Who are the buyers?
AI labs, model developers, and established data partners that supply them. Buyers are vetted and sign confidentiality terms before they evaluate a dataset sample.
How accurate is the estimator?
It's a directional range built from the factors buyers use to price data. It is not an offer or an appraisal. A real number requires looking at what you actually hold, which is what the free assessment call is for.
