Data licensing introductions
AI labs now pay companies to license their past work.
Slack, Jira, GitHub, Google Workspace, CRM records, design files and more. The data is anonymized before it reaches the labs, and a licensing partner runs the deals. I introduce companies that look like a fit.
Process
How it works
-
1
Check the fit
Compare your company with the listings below. Company type, size and the number of years of data you hold decide most of it.
-
2
Get introduced
Tell me one contact at your company. I pass the introduction to the licensing partner, which then reaches out to you directly.
-
3
The partner does the work
The licensing partner scopes the data, signs an NDA with you and runs the export, removing or protecting personal information. It says it covers all costs of extraction, anonymization and transfer.
-
4
You get paid
The licensing partner sets the payout from your data volume, the tools you connect and the depth of your history. The terms are in the license you sign with it.
The parties
Who is involved
You
The company that owns the data and decides whether to license it.

Five questions
A rough screen against the published listings. Mercor makes the real decision.
Safety and security
What happens to your data
What Mercor says in public, and the questions I would ask regardless. The license you sign is what binds anyone.
What Mercor says it does
- NDA firstIt scopes the data and signs an NDA with you before it runs the export.
- AnonymizedIts pipeline combines pattern matching with generative AI to irreversibly mask personal, health and business-confidential information in everything it extracts.
- Labs do not see raw dataNo AI lab and no third-party vendor sees your raw data. Its engineers run the pipeline but do not review the data by hand.
- No cost to youIt pays for extraction, anonymization and transfer.
Ask before you sign
- Who signs the license, and which labs or kinds of buyer can receive the data?
- Can I see a sample of the anonymized output before anything is delivered?
- What is in scope exactly, and can I leave out channels, folders or clients?
- Where is the raw data held while it is processed, and when is it deleted?
- What happens to data already delivered if the license ends?
- What security reviews or audits has the pipeline passed, and can I see the results?
- If anonymization fails, who carries the liability?
- Do my client contracts, employee agreements and customer terms allow this?
Check your rights before you apply. Client contracts, employee privacy and customer consent can all limit what you are allowed to license. Have your lawyer read the agreement before you sign it.
Questions
Common questions
Am I selling my company or my data?
You would be licensing data, not selling the company. The terms sit in the license you sign with Mercor. Some listings mention exclusive terms on part of the data, so ask which applies to you.
Who pays whom, and what does it cost me?
Mercor pays the company for the license. Mercor says it covers the cost of extraction, anonymization and transfer. I get a referral fee from Mercor if you sign, and I charge you nothing.
Who sees my data?
Mercor says its pipeline masks personal, health and business-confidential information, and that no AI lab or third-party vendor sees your raw data. The license is what binds them, so read it with your lawyer.
What if my records contain client, patient or employee information?
That is the main limit on qualifying. Most listings need consent that covers reuse, client clearance, or records that can be fully de-identified. Check your contracts and consents first.
How much could the company earn?
Each listing shows a range, from $20k up to $1.5M across the types. The figure depends on data volume, depth of history, the tools involved and the rights you hold. Mercor sets the offer.
How long does it take?
I cannot point to a timeline that Mercor publishes. The introduction takes about two minutes. Ask Mercor for dates on your first call.
What happens after you introduce me?
Mercor contacts you, scopes the data and handles the agreement. I am not a party to your license and I never see your data.
Are you part of Mercor?
No. I am an independent introducer, and this is not an official Mercor page.

Who is behind this page. I am Alex B, an independent introducer based in Sydney. I do not work for Mercor and this is not an official Mercor page. If a company signs through my introduction, Mercor pays me a referral fee. I never see or handle your data, and your agreement is with Mercor.
