AI26

Introduces mature companies' data to AI research labs.

Our verdict

Aimed at companies with 50+ employees and 5+ years of operations, with India, Singapore, the UAE and Germany highlighted. AI26 packages company records for AI labs, but its homepage promotes $100K to $500K while its FAQ says payouts are not fixed. Ask who pays you, what AI26 charges and whether any exclusivity applies.

The official program opens on ai26.net. You can apply there directly.
