Mercor
Licenses and packages company data for frontier AI labs.
Our verdict
A broad fit for companies in legal, healthcare, finance, manufacturing, logistics and other industries, with no published size minimum. Mercor connects to common tools, anonymizes the data and pays by wire on delivery, with no fees or deductions. Ask whether the deal is exclusive, how the lab can use the data and how long it is kept.
The official program opens on mercor.com. You can apply there directly.
