Can my company get paid for its data?
Yes. Companies can get paid by licensing copies of their work records, such as code and order records, to AI companies that train models on them. Pay ranges published by two buyers we work with run from $10K to over $3M. Each decides whether to offer.
Apply once with OpenTrain, and we check your company against every buyer we work with and tell you which ones you qualify for.
Free. About 9 questions: industry, size, records. Compare any offers before you sign.
No files or records are needed to apply. OpenTrain is an independent referrer, and a buyer may pay us a referral reward.

- Answer a few questions.
- When you send your answers, you ask us to check your company against each buyer's requirements and send the company and contact details you give us to every buyer that fits.

What decides how much a buyer pays?
Buyers base their offers on the kind of records, how many there are, how unique they are, and their quality and depth.
Two AI data buyers we work with publish pay ranges: one typically from $100K to over $3M, the other from $10K to $1.5M.

Which companies qualify?
This guide is for companies licensing their own business records, not for individuals. To license records to a buyer, your company must:
- Hold the rights to the records
- Meet that buyer’s rules. For example, one buyer asks for at least 30 full-time staff.
A company with fewer staff can still apply, because some buyers we work with take companies of any size.
The kinds of records buyers ask for:
- Email and team chat
- Documents, wikis and process guides
- Support tickets and CRM records
- Project histories
- Code and its history
- In some industries, recordings, design files, lab records or footage
A company that is closing or has already closed can apply too. See how it works for a closing company.
Common questions about getting paid for company data
How do buyers handle personal information in our records?
Before you sign, ask each buyer to show you in writing, with a sample, what personal information it removes or transforms, when it does so, and who can see your records before then. OpenTrain does not remove personal information for you.
Can I license the same data to more than one AI company?
Yes, unless you agree to give one buyer exclusive rights. Exclusivity is a term in the license, so check it before you sign.
Find buyers that fit your company
Disclosure: OpenTrain is an independent referrer. If a buyer we match you with credits your company's referral, that buyer may pay OpenTrain a referral reward. You pay OpenTrain nothing. We never receive or hold the data your company licenses. We keep the company and contact details you give us. When you submit the form, you ask us to send them to AI data buyers that fit, and we email you to name each buyer we send them to.
