Every value cites a source that was opened and independently re-checked. Figures the company has not confirmed itself are marked "reported". Where a company's own pages give different figures, each one is listed with its source. "Not published" means we found no figure, not that none exists. The full dataset behind these pages is public. Download the dataset (JSON): https://www.brightinfo.com/buyers/buyers.json. For the market ranges quoted elsewhere on this site, see sources and methodology: https://www.brightinfo.com/sources/ ## Reviewed and not listed We review companies that appear on public buyer lists and list only those with a confirmed program or named deal. These companies were reviewed and are not listed, for the reasons given. - **Human Native.** Acquired by Cloudflare (announced January 15, 2026). Its site now shows only a note about joining Cloudflare and no seller program, so there is no standalone program to list. - **License My Company Data.** Describes itself as a matching and referral directory that lists buyer programs and is paid referral fees by buyers. It says it does not buy, hold, license or broker records, so we treat it as a source of leads rather than a buyer. - **Oracle.** We found no Oracle program, deal or disclosure of buying or licensing company data for AI. Its October 2026 statement that its AI Media Models were trained on rights-cleared data names no licensors or terms, and Oracle's own pages on the subject returned an error (HTTP 403). - **Reflection AI.** Describes its training data only in general terms (data from commercial partner agreements, proprietary vendor data and datasets it purchases) and names no data partner, deal or seller program, so it does not meet the inclusion rule for AI labs. - **Safe Superintelligence Inc..** We found no data-buying or licensing program, deal or disclosure. Its site does not mention data, it has released no product, and the press coverage we found covers only compute and investment deals. - **SpaceXAI.** Only informal talks have been reported (September 2026, by Crypto Briefing and Breitbart, citing people familiar with the matter), and those reports say the talks may not lead to a deal. We found no specific data-buying program or completed deal, so it does not meet the inclusion rule for AI labs. - **Thinking Machines Lab.** Its Inkling training summary says it concluded commercial licensing agreements with rightsholders and acquired third-party content, but it names no licensor, dataset or deal, and we found no specific program or named deal, so it does not meet the inclusion rule for AI labs. - **Zendō Labs.** We found no program to buy, license or broker company data. Its site says only that it builds RL environments, evaluations and data for frontier AI labs. **Disclosure.** Bright Info is a sell-side broker. We may invite the companies profiled here to bid for a client's data. These profiles are compiled from public sources; they are not endorsed by or affiliated with the companies.
