Aribase
Private-data marketplace that either licenses records and sublicenses them, or brokers a direct deal.
Our verdict
Suits companies with private code, documents, chats, tickets or financial records that want assessment and buyer matching through a marketplace. You keep ownership and choose whether to offer exclusivity. Its pricing guide spans $200 to $1M and is preliminary, so confirm which deal structure applies, Aribase's share and when you are paid.
The official program opens on aribase.com. You can apply there directly.
