For companies with 30+ office staff
AI labs are paying established companies to license the records they already have.
Watch: how a data license works (4 min)
Years of email, team chat, support tickets and CRM history show AI how real work gets done. Deals have ranged from about $100K to $5M, depending on the data.
- No upfront cost. DataSupply is paid only if a deal closes.
- You keep ownership. It's a license, not a sale.
- Nothing is shared without your written approval.
Free. About 60 seconds. No files shared.

Why now
AI has read the whole internet. It has never seen how your company runs.
To keep improving, AI labs need real examples of how work gets done: a request comes in, someone decides, the team handles it, and it gets resolved. Established companies already have years of that in their systems.
Real offers
Same data, several AI labs: up to 4.5x the lowest offer
Two DataSupply clients, names withheld. Neither had ever sold anything to an AI lab. Everything licensed was data they already produced by running day to day.
US real estate lead generation and agent services. About 30 staff today, 100+ at peak, 15 years of records.
US e-commerce fulfillment. 80+ staff on shared systems, about 9 years and 9 systems of records.
Real offers received, shown with each owner's approval. Every company's data is different, and no offer or payment is guaranteed.
How it works
From a quick call to competing offers
- Step 1
15-minute fit call
Our team checks your headcount, history and systems, answers your first questions and sets up your DataSupply review.
- Step 2
Free discovery meeting
30 minutes with a DataSupply consultant. Then a short list of your systems, years and rough sizes. No files are sent.
- Step 3
AI labs compete
Your anonymized profile goes to several vetted AI labs at once, so you get competing offers, not one take-it-or-leave-it price.
- Step 4
You decide, then get paid
You approve the buyer and every term, or say no. Deals typically take about 4 to 6 weeks.
You stay in control
What never happens with your data
How it's protected
- Nobody logs into your systems. You push an approved export, straight to the lab.
- Your data never passes through DataSupply or us.
- Personal details are removed or replaced before the data is used.
- Your name stays anonymous unless you approve a buyer.
- The license limits use to training AI and bans reverse engineering your business.
What stays out
- Anything you choose to exclude
- Privileged legal material, health and biometric data
- Card and bank numbers, passwords and credentials
- Data about minors, or content that belongs to your clients
Who qualifies
Built for established companies
Any industry, including nonprofits. Closed or closing companies that had about 50+ staff can often still license their old records. US, Canada and UK first; other countries case by case.
Questions
What owners ask first
Is this legit?
You sign a written Data Commercialization Agreement with DataSupply. You keep ownership, approve every buyer and every term, and can turn down any offer. Your own lawyer is welcome to review everything.
Am I selling my data?
No. You license it for defined uses and a set period. You keep ownership, and the same data can often be licensed to more than one lab, each as a separate deal.
What does it cost?
Nothing up front: no setup fee, no retainer, no cost to evaluate your data. DataSupply is paid only from a closed deal.
What about our customers' privacy?
AI labs want how the work gets done, not who your customers are. Evaluation starts from descriptions and counts, never raw files. Personal details are removed or replaced before the data is used, and you approve samples first.
Our data is a mess, and we're not technical.
That's normal. The first step is just a list of the software you use, how long, and roughly how much it holds, and an engineer helps you build it.
How much work is it for my team?
15 minutes with us, a 30-minute discovery meeting, and 30 to 40 minutes to describe your systems. If you accept an offer, there's an export later, with engineers helping.
What's my data worth?
Nobody can promise a number up front. AI labs set offers after reviewing your profile, based on headcount, years of history, systems and permitted uses. Competing offers are how you find the best price.
