AI developers and data buyers license historical business records from established companies to train enterprise AI. It's a license, not a sale: your company keeps ownership and is paid a licensing fee for the rights to use a de-identified historical copy. If you'd like to explore it, opt in below and we'll introduce you to a vetted data buyer.
Request an introduction How it worksWe focus on established businesses in the semiconductor, legal and medical sectors with real, multi-year operating history.
Typically 20 or more full-time employees. Buyers set their own criteria, and smaller archives with unusually deep or specialized records may still be considered.
5+ years in business, with those records still in your systems. Continuous history matters more than raw volume.
Roughly 1 TB or more of business records across your core systems.
Years of activity across tools like Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace, Slack or Teams, CRM, knowledge bases, project management and accounting, and your company has the right to license those records.
The value is in workflow context: how your teams make decisions and how work moves across connected systems over time. Isolated files matter less.
Typically out of scope: privileged material, NDA-restricted content, health information and patient records, customer personal data, passwords and credentials, and third-party licensed content.
You decide what is in scope, and nothing beyond a high-level description and small redacted samples is shared before a written agreement is signed.
The buyer receives a license to a de-identified copy of the records you approve. Your company keeps ownership of its data, IP and systems.
Early review uses a high-level inventory of your systems and, if requested, a few redacted sample records. No logins or full data sets are shared before you sign.
Personal identifiers are removed, masked or consistently pseudonymized before delivery, so the data keeps its workflow context without keeping real identities.
Privileged material, NDA-restricted content, health information, credentials and third-party content can be excluded from scope.
Permitted uses, confidentiality, data handling, any exclusivity and payment terms are set out in a written licensing agreement that you and your counsel review before anything is transferred.
You can decline any offer. Opting in to an introduction does not obligate you to license anything.
Patient records and protected health information (PHI) are excluded. Only business and operational records are in scope, such as administrative workflows, policies, vendor and scheduling processes. Any content touching PHI must meet HIPAA de-identification standards (Safe Harbor or Expert Determination, 45 CFR 164.514) or stay out. Please involve your privacy officer and counsel.
Privileged communications, attorney work product and client-confidential information (ABA Model Rule 1.6 and your state's equivalent) are excluded unless the client gives informed consent. Firm-owned material is the typical starting point: templates, playbooks, training materials, internal SOPs and de-identified workflow data. Your ethics or general counsel should approve the scope.
Customer IP under NDA, foundry PDKs and third-party EDA content are excluded. So is any technical data controlled under the EAR or ITAR. Your trade-compliance team should review the scope before export.
Designed to take limited time from your team, with no disruption to daily operations.
Request an introduction with the short form below (about 3 minutes). A member of our team will follow up to confirm fit.
With your agreement, we introduce you to a data buyer. You'll know who the buyer is before any information about your company is shared with them.
You prepare a high-level inventory of your systems, years covered and volumes. The buyer reviews it and may ask for a few redacted samples.
If there's a fit, the buyer makes a written offer and licensing agreement. Nothing is binding until you sign.
An approved, de-identified historical copy is exported, usually with the buyer's technical help. Payment follows the buyer's acceptance, on the terms in your agreement.
There's no fixed price list. Buyers value each archive individually based on years of continuous history, workforce size, how many systems link together, how specialized the domain is, preserved metadata and revisions, and whether records show outcomes (e.g., matters closed, projects delivered).
Public reports describe AI-data licensing payouts in the six to seven figures for established mid-size companies. We don't quote numbers before review: any offer is made solely by the buyer after it evaluates your inventory, and it is never guaranteed.
Market context: companies' internal records drew public bids of $10M and $12.5M in the Spirit Airlines bankruptcy (Forbes, Aug 2026), and AI-data programs have publicly advertised $100K–$2M for mid-size companies (Fast Company). Third-party reports only; not results of any introduction we have made.
These are hypothetical examples, not actual clients or results. They show how scope might be drawn for typical companies in each sector. The ranges are illustrative only and are not based on any specific buyer's pricing; actual offers vary and are made only by a buyer after review.

You're asking United Capital Strategies to contact you and, if there's a fit, introduce you to a data buyer. That's all. You aren't agreeing to share data or license anything, and you can stop at any point.
No. It's a license to a de-identified historical copy. Your company keeps ownership of its data and keeps operating exactly as it does today.
It depends on the buyer and the deal. Some licenses are non-exclusive; others limit licensing the same data to anyone else for a period. Whatever applies will be spelled out in the written agreement before you sign.
It varies with the buyer, the number of systems and how easily your data exports. The buyer will give you a timeline after reviewing your inventory.
We share your company details only with the buyer you agree to be introduced to. Confidentiality and any publicity restrictions belong in your written agreement with the buyer.
Personal identifiers are removed or transformed before delivery. We recommend reviewing your employee handbook and privacy notices, and applicable state laws such as the CCPA/CPRA, with counsel before signing.
Health records and PHI are excluded from scope. Only business and operational records are considered, and anything touching PHI must be properly de-identified under HIPAA standards or left out. Your privacy officer should sign off on scope.
Privileged and client-confidential material stays out unless the client gives informed consent. Most firms start with firm-owned know-how and de-identified operational data. Your ethics counsel should approve scope.
There is no cost to your company. United Capital Strategies may receive a referral fee from the data buyer if a license is completed. We'll confirm who the buyer is before any introduction, and you're welcome to ask us about the fee arrangement.
No. Any offer comes only after a buyer reviews your information, and you are never obligated to accept.
No. Please consult your own legal, privacy and tax advisors regarding your data rights and any agreement.
