Dibs · Data Income Builders
AI companies are licensing real operational records — SOPs, support tickets, project histories — to teach models how work actually gets done. Dibs matches your company with the buyers looking for your kind of data and guides you through every step. Nothing is signed without your approval.
A 20-minute call. No files, no cost, no obligation.
Illustrative sample. Not a real client.
01 — The public web isn't enough
AI models learned from what's public. They can write an essay. They don't know how a real team closes a ticket, approves an invoice, or ships a release.
02 — The missing piece is inside companies
That knowledge lives in your SOPs, ticket queues, CRM, and project tools — years of decisions your team made and wrote down along the way.
03 — Buyers are paying for it
AI data companies now license this kind of operational data from ordinary businesses. You don't need to be a tech company. You need records of how work gets done.
What qualifies
Buyers aren't after your customer lists, pricing, or trade secrets. They want the trail of how work moves: a request arrives by email, becomes a ticket, gets resolved, and updates the CRM. Most office-based teams have years of it without trying.
How work gets coordinated day to day.
Email · Slack · Teams
Real problems, and how your team solved them.
Tickets · QA scores · macros
How work moves from first call to renewal.
Pipeline stages · activity logs · handoffs
Plans, trade-offs, and what actually shipped.
Issue trackers · specs · post-mortems
The approvals and checks behind every dollar and shipment.
Close checklists · reconciliations · dispatch logs
How your team is trained to do the job.
Wikis · runbooks · training docs
A good fit usually looks like this
Most office-based industries qualify, including professional services, software, accounting, legal, engineering, real estate, logistics, and healthcare administration. Every company is reviewed case by case.
Always left out
Some information is never part of a deal, whoever the buyer is:
Health and biometric data · payment and bank details · Social Security numbers · minors' data · privileged legal material · classified or export-controlled information
Why Dibs
Each buyer runs its own program, with its own criteria and process. Dibs works with several of them, so one intake call tells you which ones fit your data — and we stay with you through scoping and sign-off.
| On your own | With Dibs | |
|---|---|---|
| Finding buyers | Research each program yourself | Several vetted buyers, one intake |
| Fit | Guess which program wants your data | Matched to buyers looking for it |
| The fine print | Work out what to ask | A checklist of what every agreement should cover |
| Cost | Your team's time | Nothing to you |
How it works
Nothing is signed without you.
01
A short call about the systems and records your team keeps. No files change hands.
02
We tell you which buyers are looking for your kind of data, and why.
03
We introduce you. The buyer scopes your data and makes an offer — often starting with one workflow.
04
You approve the scope and sign the agreement directly with the buyer. Payment terms are set in that agreement.
Privacy & control
Every buyer we work with licenses data under a written agreement. Before you sign, we make sure you have clear answers on each of these.
Which systems, teams, and date ranges are in — and everything that's out.
How personal and customer information is removed, and at what point.
What you review and sign off on before your data is used.
What the buyer may do with your data, and what stays yours.
How long your data is kept, and how it's deleted.
Dibs shares your company's name with a buyer only after you say yes. The one exception is a name-only check, with your permission, that you aren't already enrolled.
What deals look like
$100K – $2M+
Range across published buyer programs. Each buyer sets its own price.
Volume
More records, more years, and more teams generally mean more value.
Quality
Specialized, well-documented knowledge that's hard to find elsewhere is worth the most.
Cadence
Most deals pay once for your history. Some buyers come back later to license newer records.
Questions
Licensing your business records is a commercial agreement like any other. What matters is your existing obligations — customer contracts, privacy laws, and industry rules. We'll help you know what to check, and you should review any agreement with your own counsel.
Established AI data companies that supply training data to leading AI labs. We'll tell you which ones fit your data on our first call.
Nothing. Dibs is paid by buyers through their referral programs when a partnership is signed. Your payment from the buyer isn't reduced by it.
These are licensing agreements: the buyer gets defined rights to use the data. Ownership and usage terms are spelled out in each agreement, and we make sure you understand exactly what you're granting before you sign.
Buyers' programs are built around de-identified data, and you can rule anything out of scope entirely. The exact method is defined in each agreement, so you'll see it before you sign. Some information is always left out: health and biometric data, payment and bank details, Social Security numbers, minors' data, and privileged legal material.
No. Many partnerships start with a single team or workflow and expand only if it's working for you.
Yes. You can walk away at any point before signing, and every offer is yours to accept or decline.
A few quick questions. If there's a fit, you'll pick a time for your 20-minute call right away. No files, no cost, no obligation.

Thanks for checking
Buyers' criteria change. Want us to tell you if that happens?
Done. We'll email you if that changes.
