We make AI data buyers compete for your company's data.

Usually, with care. Holding data is not the same as having the right to license it. Before anything goes to market we check employee notices and handbooks, customer and vendor contracts, NDAs, union agreements and the terms of the software the data came from. Sensitive categories stay out by default, and your counsel signs off before any buyer sees a sample.

Published 2026 ranges run from $10K to $100K for the archives of shutting-down startups, $100K to $4M per license for operating companies with 20 to 500 staff, and $7.5M to $12.5M in the bids for Spirit Airlines’ records in its bankruptcy auction. Years of history, the number of systems, and how much reasoning the record shows move the price more than raw volume.

The working record of how a business runs: team chat (Slack, Microsoft Teams), email archives, CRM history, support tickets, code with its tickets and docs, shared drives, call recordings and finance exports. Spirit Airlines’ package was about 100 million emails, 500 million Teams messages and 30 million lines of code, with passenger and personal data excluded.

Four kinds of buyer: AI data vendors who supply the labs, builders of agent-training environments, data marketplaces, and the labs’ own partnership programs. The public bidders for Spirit Airlines’ records were Google, Mercor and Micro1. Every offer you receive through Bright Info names the buyer’s category.

Connect, review, prepare, submit. You tell us which systems you run and for how long. We size the record, clear the legal checks and have an independent partner you approve strip names, customers and accounts. One data sheet then goes to every qualified buyer at once, they bid in sealed rounds, and you pick the offer or walk away.

Most data monetization companies either buy your data outright or resell it on their own terms, so they are on the other side of the table. Bright Info is a sell-side broker. We never take a position in your data. Buyers compete for it and we negotiate price, term and exclusivity on your side.

Identifying fields are removed by an independent de-identification partner you approve before any buyer sees the record. HR files, health records and data you hold for clients are excluded by default. Every license bans re-identification, intentional or negligent, and requires raw copies to be destroyed within 30 days of delivery.

License, almost always. A sale or a perpetual exclusive license means you can never offer the same record again. We push for a bounded term, a field of use limited to AI training, and resale rights that stay with you. A higher number on a perpetual exclusive can be worth less than a lower one you can license twice.

No. Scoping uses read-only, scoped access and nothing is copied out. Buyers bid on a data sheet and a de-identified sample. The full record moves only after you sign, and only to the buyer you chose.

Nothing to you. We take a commission from the buyer you choose, whichever one it is, out of the closed deal. No retainer, no listing fee. If no buyer beats your floor, nobody pays anybody.

Yes, and you should. A standing offer becomes the floor of the auction. If nobody beats it, you take it and owe us nothing.

Most processes run a few weeks from intake to signed license: a few days to scope and review, one to two weeks to prepare, then the bid rounds. Payment follows on the buyer’s terms, which we negotiate up front.

Yes. Wind-down archives are the most active segment of this market today, with published deals of $10K to $100K per company. The same process applies, and the legal review is often simpler because employee and customer relationships have already ended.
