Guides to licensing business data to AI companies

Each guide answers one question an owner asks before licensing company records to an AI data buyer, with every buyer figure attributed to the buyer and dated.

By Hoyt Gong, Topology Partners. Topology Partners is an independent referral intermediary and is not affiliated with or endorsed by any buyer named on this page.

01

How much is my company data worth to AI buyers?

AI data buyers publish ranges from $10K (Scale AI) to $4M+ (Handshake AI) for a license to a company's records, and the only real price for yours is a signed offer.

02

Sell data to AI companies: how licensing your company records works

You license your company data to an AI company; you do not sell it, and you keep ownership of your records.

03

AI data buyer referral fees compared: who pays to introduce you

The AI data buyer that signs with your company pays the referral fee, and the published terms run from nothing at Troveo to up to $100,000 at Mercor and 7.5% of deal value above $700,000 at micro1.

04

micro1 data partnership program: who qualifies, what it pays and how referrals work

05

Scale AI data partnership: who qualifies, what it pays and how the referral works

A Scale AI data partnership licenses de-identified records from the systems your company already runs, such as Snowflake, Slack, Gmail, Jira and Salesforce, and Scale publishes an illustrative value of $10K to $1M+ per data partnership, scaling with cadence.

06
