Sell My Data to AI Companies: The Owner's Guide to Licensing Company Records
Selling your company data to AI companies means licensing — not selling — the record of how your business operates (email, chat, CRM, support tickets, project files) to AI labs and training-data buyers. Published payouts range from $20,000 to over $3 million per company (buyer pages checked November 2026). Most buyers require 20+ staff and 3+ years of records. You keep ownership, and nothing is sent to get an initial estimate.
For companies with 20+ employees and 3+ years of records. This is not personal, phone, browsing or survey data — buyers do not purchase that here, and neither do we.
SellMyDataForAI.com helps U.S. companies with 20+ employees license their operating records — email, chat, CRM and project data — to AI labs and training-data buyers. Owners keep ownership of their data; valuation starts with a metadata-only manifest, and no raw data is shared to get an estimate.

These are ranges the buyers themselves publish on their own pages. They are published ranges, not offers, and not a promise about any specific company.
| Buyer | Published range | Published fit note |
|---|---|---|
| micro1 | $100K–$500K qualified partnerships; $500K–$3M large-scale; $3M+ for highly unique data | 30+ full-time staff on its data-partnerships page; English records, US first |
| Mercor | $20K–$1.5M, by industry | Published across its industry referral listings; floor varies by industry |
| Scale AI | $10K–$1M+ per partnership | Labelled “illustrative” by Scale itself |
| Handshake AI | $100K–$4M+ | Top of range is a ceiling, not a typical outcome |
The honesty anchor: across the public record, the median published offer is about $280,000 per company, while the median public sale actually documented is about $31,600 (AIData.Broker’s compilation of public prices, checked November 2026). Ceilings are real, and so is the gap. That is why competing bids on one manifest matter more than any headline range.
What data do AI companies actually buy?
AI companies buy records that show how skilled work gets done and how it ends: the decision, the work and the outcome, connected. Archives covering several years of completed work are worth the most, because they show both the reasoning and the result.
Communication records
Email archives, Slack and Teams history — how decisions were made, escalations handled and deals closed, across years of real work.
Customer operations
Support tickets with resolutions, CRM history, call recordings with outcomes. Resolved tickets are a complete record of a problem and its fix.
Project and case files
Project archives, closed deal and case files, drawings, code with its reviews and tests — finished work, not drafts.
Process records
SOPs, templates, QuickBooks and accounting history, internal documentation — the systems a team actually runs on.
What buyers exclude matters as much: customer and employee personal data is de-identified or excluded, client files held under confidentiality are checked before they are counted, and records you do not own the rights to are never included. The rights check explains how that works system by system.
How does the process work, step by step?
How it works: (1) a 7-minute fit interview — nothing is sent or uploaded; (2) a metadata-only manifest describing systems, years of history and rough record counts, with no raw files; (3) matching buyers review the manifest and may bid; (4) the owner sees each offer’s price, license term and exclusivity, and picks one or walks away. Owners keep ownership of their data throughout, and full data moves only under a license the owner signs directly, after personal data is removed.
- 7-minute qualifier interview. You describe your systems — you do not export anything. We check the published buyer floor: 20+ staff, 3+ years of records, 5+ data sources.
- Metadata-only manifest. A one-page summary — systems, years, rough record counts. No raw data, no files, no credentials.
- Buyers bid. Buyers whose published programs fit your manifest review it and bid. You see price, license term and exclusivity side by side.
- You decide. Pick an offer or walk away. Nothing is owed by either side until a license is signed, and our fee is a success fee only — paid only if a deal closes.
Personal data is de-identified before anything moves, and buyers first see a redacted sample under a mutual NDA. You approve every buyer and every term.
Do you qualify? The 90-second fit check
The introduction service on this site is built for U.S. companies with 20 or more employees, 3 or more years in business, and records in 5 or more systems — such as email, chat (Slack or Teams), shared files, a CRM, support tickets, project tools, or accounting software. Individual buyers set their own floors, which may be higher (for example 30+ or 50+ staff) or lower for specific industries, and each buyer’s own floor controls for its program.
Fit floor (published): 20+ full-time staff · 3+ years of records · 5+ data sources (email, Slack/Teams, Drive/SharePoint, CRM, support, QuickBooks, calls, code, project files). The interactive checker loads here; if it does not, the interview itself runs the same check in seven minutes.
Book the 7-minute interviewNo files are uploaded in this check. Nothing is sent to find out.
Estimate your range
The estimator maps your staff band, years of records, number of connected systems and industry onto the ranges buyers publish. It is part of the fit check above: pass the floor and your illustrative range appears with the factors that moved it, what would move you up a band, and the disclaimer below — before any booking is offered.
This is an illustrative estimate based on ranges buyers publish. It is not an offer, quote, or valuation of your company. Actual value — if any — is set by buyer bids on a metadata-only manifest of your records, after rights and de-identification checks. Many companies will not qualify or will receive offers below published ceilings. Nothing is owed by either side until a license is signed.
Start the fit check to see your rangeStart with your own fit check
Going to one buyer alone means negotiating against a single price. Start here instead: run the fit check and book the 7-minute interview, and one metadata-only manifest can be reviewed by the buyers you fit — so you compare real offers before you sign anything.
Questions owners ask first
Is this a sale or a license?
A license. You keep ownership of your records and keep using them in your business. A buyer pays for the right to use a de-identified copy for AI training, on terms — length, exclusivity, permitted use — that you approve before anything is signed.
Do I have to send my data to get an estimate?
No. The estimate and the first call use only what you describe: systems, years and rough counts. Buyers bid on a metadata-only manifest. Full data moves only after you sign a license directly with a buyer, and personal data is de-identified before transfer.
What does it cost me?
$0 upfront. There is no retainer and no listing fee. We are paid a success fee only if a deal closes — the terms are stated in writing before any submission is made.
How long does a deal take?
Buyers’ published timelines put most deals at six to twelve weeks from first contact to payment. That range comes from the buyers’ own pages, checked November 2026, and individual deals vary.
What if no buyer bids, or I don’t like the offers?
You walk away and owe nothing. The manifest stays yours. Comparing offers before signing anything is the entire point of putting several buyers in front of the same manifest.
Do you buy personal or phone data?
No. This is for companies: the operating records of a business with 20+ staff. We do not buy personal, browsing, phone or survey data, and buyers exclude customer and employee personal data from these deals.
