Selling your company's data, answered plainly.
Owners ask us the same questions in the same order. These are the answers, without the hedging. Looking for how to get the data out of a specific system instead? See the data source guides.
- How much is my company's data worth?Depth beats volume. What moves the number up, what caps it, and why public comparables mislead.
- How to sell business data to AI labsThe steps, in the order they actually happen. Most owners get stuck on the first.
- How does a data licensing deal work?First call to funds received, and what sits on each side.
- What is the difference between licensing data and selling it?A sale prices a growing asset once, at its smallest. A license prices it as it grows.
- Is selling company data legal?Ownership, customer agreements, and personal information. Three questions decide it.
- Who buys company data?How the chain from an operating business to a frontier lab actually runs.
- Data source guidesStep by step, for the specific system your company runs on.
In short
Most businesses with real operating history hold an asset they have never priced. It is the working record of how the job actually got done.
The AI labs need that material. What is valuable is not volume but visible reasoning, and what stops most deals is the company discovering it does not own the records it assumed it did.
Polyshares is a data lab. We license that record directly from the company, pay for it ourselves, anonymize it, and supply the labs. There is no fee and no commission, because we are the buyer rather than an agent. Deals typically land between $100K and $2M paid to the company, papered within one to two weeks and settled net 30 to 60.
