Direct buyerLast verified

Mode

Buys an agreed copy of company records for AI research and training.

Our verdict

Fits legal, accounting, medical and other businesses with email, document, chat, CRM and billing histories. Mode buys a filtered copy directly with no broker fee, and you keep your originals; its $100K to $5M range is indicative. Its official pages give conflicting employee minimums, so confirm you qualify, along with exclusivity and deletion terms.
