The enterprise buyers
Five or six companies that license operating records from companies of roughly 20 to 40 or more people with three or more years of history, on behalf of the labs training AI models. Published figures to the company run from $100,000 to $4,000,000 at the top; one publishes $100,000+ for a qualified company, $500,000+ for several teams and $1,000,000+ for unique data; two publish $383,000 to $897,000 for a 100-person company with ten years of records; one publishes $10,000 to $1,000,000+ per partnership, paid again as new records are produced. They pay at signing, at close, or when the data is accepted. Several only credit the first introduction, and one only credits an introduction made through a tracked link.
Fits: Software, IT services, mortgage, insurance, law, accounting, consulting, logistics, manufacturing, distribution, staffing, BPO
The buyer built for small and mid-size operators
One buyer works with roofers, contractors, law firms, restaurants, cleaning companies, accounting practices and mortgage shops of any size, writes the missing process documents, scrubs the records, finds the lab buyer and closes. It publishes offer bands by industry: $100,000 to $250,000, $250,000 to $750,000 and $750,000 to $1,000,000, and shows one closed deal of $173,163. It charges a share of the sale for doing the work; no sale, no fee. About 60 days from close to payment.
Fits: Trades, restaurants, law, accounting, mortgage, any small operator with years of history
The fastest-paying marketplace
One marketplace connects read-only to Slack, GitHub, Drive and the CRM, redacts, and sells to labs. It publishes $20,000 to $5,000,000 per company and payment within seven days of records passing review, the fastest in the market.
Fits: Companies that run on everyday SaaS tools and want speed
The shut-down and small-company specialists
Wind-down firms and small labs that buy a closed company's Slack, email and code, or a small company's full records, at any size. Published: $10,000 to $100,000 per closed company, about 100 deals a year at one firm; $20,000 to $300,000 at another, in two to four weeks, with raw archives deleted within 30 days.
Fits: Closed or closing companies; companies under 20 people
The code buyers
Marketplaces and labs that buy repositories on their own. Published: $5,000 and up per repository with the seller keeping 80%, example deals of $68,000 to $220,000; a second buyer publishes up to $15,000 per modern repository, $10,000 to $100,000 for legacy code and up to $1,000,000 for full operating records. Quotes in days.
Fits: Software companies, shut-down startups, anyone with a repository that has real history
The multi-lab licensing platform
One platform licenses the same dataset to many labs so the owner is paid more than once. It prefers companies of 200 or more with 8 to 15 years of history for full-company deals and publishes that those start at six figures; it also takes startup archives at $10,000 to $100,000 and single repositories. It reports more than $20 million paid to rights holders across all data types.
Fits: Larger companies; owners who want recurring income; shut-down archives
All figures are the buyers' own published figures or published deal reports as of October 6, 2026, with sources on file. They are ranges and examples, not offers. Final amounts depend on data sources, volume, quality, access terms and due diligence. We do not name the buyers we introduce companies to, and we do not publish what they pay us.
How we pick.
Three things decide it. How big the check can be for a company your size. How fast that buyer pays. And whether the buyer is actively asking for your industry this month, which changes.
A 40-person HVAC company with ten years of ServiceTitan and QuickBooks fits the small-operator buyer and two of the enterprise buyers. A shut-down software startup fits the code buyers and the shut-down specialists, and should move this week. A 150-person mortgage lender fits the top band at the small-operator buyer and the enterprise buyers. A 12-person company with deep records fits the small-company specialists and the code buyers. Nobody is turned away before the check.
We ask every buyer the same question each month: what company profiles are highest priority right now? The answers set the order.
Questions about the buyers.
Why don't you name the buyers?
Because the introduction is the service. We tell you which buyer before anything is sent, and you decide. Every figure above is a buyer's own published figure, checked on the date below and kept on file.
Which buyer will you introduce me to?
The one that publishes the most for your size, years and systems, and that pays fastest if you are in a hurry. The two-minute check sorts this before a human looks. Every company gets checked against every type, whatever its size or situation.
Where do these numbers come from?
Each buyer's own referral page, estimator or published offer bands, checked on the date below. We keep the sources and screenshots and update this page when a buyer changes its terms.
Can I go to a buyer directly?
Yes. Nothing stops you. What we add is knowing which of them fits, the introduction to a named contact, and the comparison. Several buyers only credit the first introduction, so going through us does not cost you anything.
Do I have to be closing or selling to qualify?
No. Most deals are with companies that are operating as usual and plan to keep operating. Closing, selling, retiring, raising, or just curious: every situation gets checked.
Some buyers pay in seven days.
