Volume Wins Better Offers
We bring labs a steady flow of datasets, so they compete for ours and give us their best terms.
Better Terms, Not Just Price
We negotiate exclusivity, payment timing and privacy for you. One owner alone can’t.
How It Works
Basic Details First
We look at your software, message counts and data size. No files, no passwords, no records.
Offer Before Any Data
The lab makes a written offer from that summary alone. Nothing leaves your business until you accept a price.
You Approve Every Record
Sensitive and personal data is removed, and you review the anonymized set before anything is submitted.
The Lab Pays You
Paid directly by the AI lab on delivery of the approved dataset.
Questions Owners Ask
Do I need to send you any data to get started?
No. You share basic details: your website, a rough employee count, the tools your team uses and how far back your records go. No files, no passwords and no records until you have accepted an offer.
Why would an AI lab pay for our data?
AI labs need real business data they can’t get from the public internet. The way your team handles decisions, handoffs and outcomes in tools like Slack, HubSpot or email is rarely published, so labs pay to license it.
How much could a license be worth?
There is no standard price. Our examples range from $110,000 for a 10-person law firm to $700,000 for a 40-person trucking company. Those are individual results before fees, not a guarantee. The labs decide what to offer.
How does DataGold get paid?
There is no upfront fee and no ongoing charge. We earn a success fee only when a deal closes, and you pay nothing if you don’t qualify or decide not to proceed.
Do we sell our data or keep it?
You keep it. A license gives the lab defined use rights for an agreed scope and term, and ownership stays with your company. If a lab asks for exclusivity, its scope, length and price are negotiated separately and need your approval.
What counts as a data source?
Any system where your team’s work leaves records: business email and chat, CRM and sales workflows, support tickets, project files, SOPs and knowledge bases, finance workflows, and meeting recordings. Not every dataset qualifies; labs look at rights, privacy, quality, scale and uniqueness.
Do we need to be a technology company?
No. Our example offers went to a law firm, a real estate company and a trucking company. What matters is 20+ desk staff, 3+ years in operation and 5+ data sources.
Who sees our customers’ information?
Sensitive and personal data is removed before anything is submitted, and you review and approve the anonymized set first. Nothing leaves your company until you have accepted a price.
