Why DataDeals exists
This is still a young market. A company might have ten years of support tickets, engineering history, work orders, sales conversations, or internal operating records and have no idea whether any of it is valuable.
Meanwhile, the buyer often knows exactly what it is looking for.
DataDeals exists to close that gap.
What we do
We help companies answer four questions:
- What do we actually have?
- The useful asset is rarely “our Slack data” or “our CRM.” It might be years of customer problems tied to resolutions, technicians diagnosing equipment failures, or engineering decisions connected to code changes and outcomes.
- Is anyone buying this kind of data?
- We look at current buyer demand, active programs, reported transactions, and the specifics of the asset.
- Can we license it?
- Rights, privacy, contracts, employee or customer information, and third-party content can all affect what can be included.
- Who should we talk to?
- If there is a real opportunity, we identify buyers likely to be interested, make introductions, and help you compare offers. You negotiate directly and make the decisions.
Sometimes the answer is that there is not enough value to pursue. That is useful too.
Why clear evidence matters
This market is still opaque.
There is no clean price list for proprietary company data, and the public examples that do exist are easy to misread. A published buyer range, a rejected offer, a completed transaction, and a bankruptcy bid are not the same thing.
We try to make those distinctions clear.
If we show a number, we should be able to explain where it came from and what it means.
And if a buyer approaches you directly, we can help you compare that offer with other options.
How we get paid
Our service is free for sellers. We earn referral fees from participating buyers when successful deals are completed. We disclose these arrangements before making introductions. We never charge sellers a commission or deduct a fee from their payments.

Referral fees are negotiated individually with each participating buyer. Before each introduction, we tell you whether that buyer has a referral arrangement with DataDeals.
A referral fee can be part of a buyer’s overall cost of a deal, so compare every offer on its own terms.
Outside legal, privacy, tax, accounting, or technical advice is separate. You decide whether you need it.
How we research the market
DataDeals tracks the market using:
- current buyer and data-partnership programs;
- reported offers and transactions;
- public filings where available;
- independent reporting;
- direct market conversations;
- the characteristics of the company and data being evaluated.
We separate different kinds of evidence rather than blending them into one fake “market price.”
That same approach is used in our guides and calculator.
See how company data is valuedWho runs DataDeals
DataDeals was founded by Ola Rask, an operator with a background in building and running technology businesses.
His career has focused on operations, commercial systems, and turning messy business problems into practical processes. More recently, that work has moved heavily into AI and the question of how companies can capture value from assets they already have.
DataDeals started with a simple observation: most of the infrastructure around the AI data market was being built for buyers.
Very little was being built for the companies on the other side of the transaction.
That is the side DataDeals is for.
