Databounties

Specialist broker that licenses company datasets to AI buyers.

Our verdict

For US or UK companies with 11+ employees, especially those with deep specialist records such as ledgers, lab data, quality control or logistics. You keep ownership, approve the buyer and pay a commission only on a closed deal. Ask for the commission rate, the exclusivity term and what happens to the data after the sale.
