The plain-English guide to the data business

AI labs are paying for proprietary data.

This site explains how the data business works, in plain English. There are 2 ways in: broker the deals, or sell your company's data.

Why this is happening now

01

The public internet is tapped out

The labs have scraped the same crawl, the same code, the same forums. What they need now sits behind locked doors.

02

They need real work, not raw text

The valuable data shows how experts do their jobs: the steps, the judgment calls, the checks before sign-off.

03

The budgets are real

Labs are paying serious money for the right data, right now.

How money moves

01

A company lists its data

An inventory of what it has: messages, docs, tickets, code, records.

02

A broker makes the introduction

The broker connects the company to the program. The data gets reviewed and packaged.

03

The deal closes and both get paid

The company gets paid for its data. The broker earns commission on the deal.

FAQ

What does a data broker actually do?

Do I need experience?

Does it cost anything to start?

No. There is nothing to buy.

Who handles privacy and anonymization?

Specialists. Identifying details are stripped before anything reaches a buyer.
