The opportunity

The bottleneck in AI is no longer compute. It's data.

The public web has been scraped. The next leap in model performance depends on high-quality, rights-cleared, proprietary data that only companies like yours own.

AI labs are actively buying. Most data owners don't know what their archives are worth, who is buying, or how to structure a deal that pays fairly and protects their business. That's where we come in.

How it works

From dormant archive to recurring revenue.

A white-glove process built for data owners who want the upside of the AI economy without building a data business of their own.

01

Assess

We audit what you own: volume, uniqueness, quality, and rights. You get a clear view of market value at no cost.

02

Prepare

We help de-identify, clean, structure, and document your data so it meets the standards AI buyers expect.

03

Match

We take your dataset to the labs and AI companies with an active need for it, under NDA, with samples you control.

04

Negotiate

We structure pricing, usage scope, and term to maximize value and protect your business.

05

Deliver

We manage secure delivery, renewals, and follow-on sales so a single dataset can earn more than once.

Data we represent

If it's rare, licensed, and human, someone is buying it.

We focus on data that can't be scraped: archives, expert work product, and domain-specific records that make models measurably better.

Text

Publishing & archives

Books, journals, news libraries, transcripts, and long-form written work with clear provenance.

Video

Footage & media libraries

Stock, broadcast, instructional, and first-person video with metadata and usage rights.

Audio

Speech & sound

Multilingual speech, call recordings, podcasts, music stems, and environmental audio.

Code

Software & repositories

Proprietary codebases, commit histories, code reviews, and engineering documentation.

Expert

Domain expertise

Legal, financial, medical, and scientific records that capture how professionals reason.

Visual

Imagery & 3D

Photography, design files, technical drawings, maps, scans, and spatial data.

Why Data Licensing Group

Your agent in a market built for buyers.

AI companies have deal teams, lawyers, and leverage. Data owners usually have none of that. We level the table.

01

No fee to the seller

We are paid by the buyer, not by you. There is no cost to get assessed, no cost to be represented, and nothing deducted from your proceeds.

02

We know who's buying, and for what

We track demand across frontier labs, model builders, and enterprise AI teams so your data reaches the buyers who value it most.

03

Rights and privacy come first

Every deal is built around consent, de-identification, and clear usage limits. Your reputation is part of what we protect.

04

Terms that keep your upside

Scoped usage, defined terms, and renewal rights, so your data keeps earning long after the first deal.

FAQ

Questions data owners ask us.

What does it cost to work with you?

Nothing. We are paid by the buyer, and there is no fee to the seller.

How do I know if my data is valuable?

Value comes from uniqueness, volume, quality, and clean rights. Data that is hard to find online, created by experts, or rich in human interaction tends to command the highest prices. Our assessment will tell you where you stand.

Do I give up ownership of my data?

No. We structure licenses, not sales. You keep ownership of your data, and the license defines exactly how a buyer may use it.

What about privacy and personal information?

We work with you to remove or de-identify personal information and confirm you have the rights to license before anything is shared. Buyers only see samples you approve, under NDA.

How long does a deal take?

It depends on the dataset and the buyer, but many deals move from first conversation to signed license in a matter of weeks once the data is ready to package.
