DataCow
Lists and packages company data for AI labs.
Our verdict
Accepts a broad mix, including Slack and Teams workspaces, code, documents, audio, video and end-to-end workflow captures, with no size minimum. It reviews and packages data for AI labs but publishes few commercial terms, and its pages advertise different payout tiers. Ask for fees, the paying party, exclusivity and deletion terms in writing.
The official program opens on datacow.co. You can apply there directly.
