Data licensing for AI training
Slack, email, your CRM, your shared drives: years of how your company actually runs. We package a de-identified copy, take it to AI labs and model developers, and bring back the strongest bid. Every original stays exactly where it is.
How a deal works
Industries where this tends to fit
Two real, closed deals
Both brokered independently, not by Nova Solutions. Shown here because proof this specific is rare, and these are real.
$100,000
Paid upfront to Brennan Agranoff for a nonexclusive, de-identified license of his operating data.
“I ran HoopSwagg for ten years and never once thought the order history was worth anything on its own. It took three days, the money was in the account, and I still own every bit of it.”Read the full case study (PDF)
$100,000
Paid upfront to Pharma Labs for a nonexclusive, de-identified license of its operating data.
“We were already paying to store all of this. Five days later it was a hundred thousand dollars, and nothing about how we run the plant changed.”Read the full case study (PDF)
Illustrative example, not a completed deal
A worked example, not a result. Nothing here describes a deal we have actually closed, the real number depends on your systems, your industry, and how much operating history you have.
$100K-$1M+
Typical range for a mid-size distributor or 3PL with years of dispatch records, supplier data, and internal communications.
1-3 weeks
From an initial snapshot call to a signed license, once you decide to move.
100%
Of your originals stay exactly where they are. We license one de-identified copy, nothing is taken away.
What counts as data
You do not need a data warehouse. AI labs want examples of how a real business communicates, decides, and operates.
Slack, Teams, internal email, and the support threads where your team actually makes decisions.
Your CRM, accounting, or ticketing system, with enough history to show how the business runs day to day.
Google Drive, SharePoint, Dropbox. Documents, SOPs, decks, and reports built up over years.
Orders, invoices, dispatch logs, and supplier records that show real operating patterns.
This moves fast
No giant questionnaire before there is a number to react to.
We ask about your business, your systems, and roughly how much data you have. Nothing technical required from you yet.
We package what is valuable, prepare a de-identified sample, and take it to AI labs and model developers who license this kind of data.
We bring back the strongest offer we can get. You approve the buyer and the price before anything moves. No bid, no obligation.
We stay hands-on from the first call through delivery and payment.
You approve the buyer and the price before any data moves.
License terms are written for the specific buyer, not a generic contract.
Every identifying detail is removed or replaced before a copy ever leaves your business.
We handle the extraction and de-identification with you, not by asking you to figure it out alone.
Before anything is shared
Names, contact details, account numbers, and credentials are detected and replaced before a single file leaves your business. What is left still shows how the operation runs, just not who is in it.

Please route the revised delivery window to procurement before approval.
Synthetic example, not a real business or a real record.
A short call is enough to know if this makes sense for your business. No upfront fee, and we only get paid if you accept an offer and the deal closes.
