How to Sell Company Data to AI Companies

To sell company data to an AI company, you license copies of your internal records to an AI data buyer that reviews your company and makes an offer. You can apply to each buyer yourself, or apply once through OpenTrain and we check your company against every buyer we work with.

This page is for companies licensing their own business data. OpenTrain does not buy or sell personal data, and it makes no offer to individuals.

Sell or license?

Many companies license. Under a license the buyer gets agreed rights to use copies of the records for a set purpose and time, while your company keeps its data. A sale may transfer broader rights. The contract sets the terms.

Where to sell company data

There are three routes to sell company data to AI companies:

Each buyer’s own application page. You find each buyer, read its rules and apply to it directly.
Data marketplaces. Sites that list datasets for buyers to browse. They suit data products more than a one-time license of your internal records.
A referrer like OpenTrain. One application checked against every buyer we work with. You license your data straight to the buyer. We never receive, hold or sell it.

What AI companies want from company data

Some AI data buyers ask for real records of how work gets done, with years of history or records from more than one team or tool. Common asks are email and chat, documents and process guides, support tickets, CRM records, project histories and code. In some industries buyers ask for recordings, design files, lab records or footage. What your company's data is worth to AI buyers.

Personal information in your records

Every buyer we work with has terms for handling personal information before your data is used. Read them before you sign. You decide what is shared.

How OpenTrain finds buyers for your company

AI data buyers pay for the right to use copies of a company's everyday work records, like email, chat and documents, under a signed license. Answer a few questions. One form covers every buyer we work with, so you don't apply to each one. 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. We email you within 24 hours to name each one. Each buyer reviews your company and may make an offer, and you decide whether to sign.

Each buyer makes its own decision about every company and may decline or may not contact you.

If a buyer credits your referral, the buyer may pay us a referral reward. You license the records directly to the buyer. OpenTrain does not receive, store or sell those records.
