Data licensing advisory
When an AI company offers to buy your data, make sure you get the best deal
We represent business owners, and only business owners, in the sale and licensing of company records to AI developers and data buyers.
A new market for the records your business already keeps
AI companies now pay established businesses for real operating records: work orders, inspection logs, support tickets, standard procedures. micro1 has announced a $1 billion budget for business data, and Mercor lists $100,000 to $1.5 million for a manufacturing company's records.
The buyers, and the referral partners who bring them deals, do this every week. Most owners will do it once. Morgan Kessen Data Advisors sits on your side of the table, so the price and the terms reflect what your data is actually worth.
Our role
An advocate for the seller, not the buyer
The first offer in your inbox is an opening bid. We make sure it is not the only one, and that the fine print protects you.
- Valuation. A realistic range for your records before you speak with any buyer.
- Competition. Your data presented to several qualified buyers at once.
- Terms. Exclusivity, usage rights, liability and payment timing, negotiated in writing.
- Privacy. Customer, employee and contract-restricted information kept out.
