Your company's records are worth something.
AI labs pay to license how real businesses actually run. DataSupply introduces you to vetted buyers, then steps aside. They never see your data, and they charge nothing upfront.
No offer or payment is guaranteed. Buyers decide who qualifies and on what terms.
A conversation with Kevin Harrington
Kevin Harrington sits down with DataSupply to talk through why AI labs want business records, how a license works, and what an owner should watch for.
Talk to DataSupply after watching
AI has read the whole internet. What it hasn't seen is how a real business makes decisions, hands off work, and gets results. That part lives in your files.
You grant a buyer the right to use specific, cleaned records. You keep ownership.
Value depends on how closely your records match what a buyer is training for.
Exclusivity, scope and permitted uses all move the price. You set them with the buyer.
Five reasons to hang up.
Whoever calls about your data, DataSupply included, walk away if you hear any of these.
- They want money first.
A real buyer pays you. Nobody legitimate charges you to be introduced.
- They want raw data before a contract.
Nothing should leave your building until an agreement is signed.
- They won't say who uses it.
You should know the buyer by name and how they protect what they receive.
- They name a price on day one.
No one can value records they haven't reviewed.
- They push you to decide now.
A good deal survives a week with your lawyer.
They make the introduction.
Your data skips them.
DataSupply sits on the seller's side. They connect you with a buyer, then the data and the money move straight between you and that buyer.
Owns the records, signs the deal, gets paid.
Never asks for, receives or stores your data.
Gets cleaned records directly, pays you directly.
Vetted labs only
They work with buyers that meet what they call a top 0.01% credibility standard.
Help with the pitch
They help you describe your workflows and record quality, without promising a price.
The hard questions
They flag the rights, privacy, security and compliance points to raise with your lawyer.
Hands off your files
Your datasets go to the buyer after signing. DataSupply never holds them.
Paid only on success
No upfront commission. Any fee is written into their Commercialization Agreement.
Walk away anytime
You check the buyer yourself, and you can stop at any point before you sign.
Four steps. You hold the pen at every one.
Share the basics
Describe your company and the kinds of records you keep. No dataset needed.
Compare lab fits
Talk through where your records could matter and what needs review. This isn't a valuation.
Meet a match
Explain your permitted records to a suitable lab. They tell you what they'd need.
Decide on your terms
Have your own lawyer read the agreement. Sign directly with the buyer, or don't.
Build your data skyline.
Tick what your team uses every week. Each one raises a building. Nothing here is saved or sent anywhere.
Pick your team size, then tick what you use.
Talk it through with DataSupply ›A prompt for your call, not a valuation. The usual bar is 35+ staff and 3+ years of records.
The boring files are the valuable ones.
Nobody is buying your customer list. Labs want the shape of the work: the steps, the calls, the outcomes.
How work gets done
SOPs, playbooks, guides and templates.
How decisions get made
Approvals, handoffs, and what happens when something breaks the rules.
What happens next
Project histories, service workflows and CRM pipeline stages.
Four checks. No shortcuts.
- ScopeWrite down exactly what's covered.
Which records, which uses, and who receives them.
- ProtectionGet a lawyer on the contract.
Security, confidentiality and permitted use, reviewed by someone on your side.
- CleaningStrip anything sensitive.
Customer details and private information come out before transfer.
- TransferSend it only after signing.
Directly to the buyer. Never through a middleman.
What owners ask first.
Still unsure? The first call is free and there's nothing to send.
Book a call ›Do I have to send data to get started?
No. You start by describing your company and the kinds of records you keep.
Why would an AI company pay for this?
Public data doesn't show how a real company handles decisions, handoffs and outcomes. Buyers pay for that, once they've checked your records are relevant and usable.
How much could a license be worth?
There's no set price and no guarantee. Demand, quality, permitted uses and exclusivity all matter, and the buyer sets the number. DataSupply puts the range for qualifying companies at $100K to $5M.
How do they choose a buyer?
DataSupply says it only works with labs that meet its credibility standard and reviews each lab's customers and needs. You and your lawyer make the final call.
What kind of information counts?
Documented processes, task histories, CRM metadata, project records, frameworks, knowledge bases and working files. What matters depends on the buyer and how well the records are prepared.
Do we need to be a tech company?
No. Recruiting, professional services, finance, legal, compliance, healthcare admin and logistics firms can all qualify.
Will anyone see my customers' information?
Sensitive details have to be removed first. Ask the buyer to explain their anonymizing and security process in writing, and have a lawyer read the agreement.
How does the partnership work?
If there's a fit, DataSupply introduces you. You check out the buyer, sign directly with them, and data moves only after signing, straight to the buyer.
How does DataSupply get paid?
Nothing upfront from you. If a deal closes, a success fee may apply under their Commercialization Agreement. No match, deal or payment is guaranteed.
