Independent referral partner

Your data is
worth more
than you think.

We introduce software and data-rich companies—including teams winding down—to AI data-partnership programs. You pay nothing. We earn a referral fee from the buyer when a deal closes.

We are not affiliated with any AI lab or data marketplace. We refer; they decide.

Referral fee disclosed Zero cost to you We never touch your data

How it works

Three steps. No cleanup from us. No paperwork theater. No data in our hands.

01

Quick fit check

Tell us what kind of data you have (or had), your size, and whether you're active or winding down. No NDA. No file upload. Just a clear yes, maybe, or no.

02

Intro to the right program

If there's a plausible fit, we introduce you to the relevant data-partnership program. You talk to them directly from there.

03

They handle the rest

Diligence, cleanup, contracts, and payment terms stay between you and the buyer.

Zero cost to you

Our referral fee is paid by the buyer program—not deducted from you.

We never touch data

Fit checks are conversational. Datasets never pass through DataTrove.

Dormant data is still an asset—if the rights allow.

Who it's for

Programs look for structured or semi-structured business data with real usage history—not scraped public web content.

B2B SaaS

Product analytics, workflow logs, support tickets, and operational datasets that can be lawfully licensed in de-identified form.

Vertical software

Industry platforms—healthcare ops, legal, logistics, finance—with domain-rich data buyers struggle to source elsewhere.

Marketplaces & platforms

Two-sided marketplaces with consented, licenseable catalogs—listings, transactions, or metadata where rights allow.

Winding down or closed

Companies shutting down, already closed, or selling assets. Some programs evaluate legacy datasets when rights allow.

FAQ

Straight answers. No fine print theater.

What does this cost my company?

Nothing. There is no fee from DataTrove Partners. If a referral leads to a closed partnership, the buyer program pays us a referral fee. You keep whatever commercial terms you negotiate with them.

How do you get paid?

We disclose this up front: we are an independent referral partner. When a deal closes through our introduction, the buyer program pays us a referral fee. That fee does not come out of your pocket.

Do you handle, store, or clean our data?

No. We never receive or process your datasets. Fit checks are conversational. Diligence, de-identification, cleanup, and contracts are handled directly between you and the buyer program.

What about privacy and legal rights?

Only lawful, properly consented, and appropriately de-identified or otherwise eligible data should be considered. We do not advise on legal compliance; the buyer and your counsel handle that. If you cannot lawfully license the data, we will not pursue a referral.

Are you affiliated with any AI lab or data marketplace?

No. DataTrove Partners is independent. We are not an official partner, agent, or representative of any AI lab, marketplace, or data-partnership program. Referrals are introductions only; acceptance is always at the buyer's discretion.

What if we're winding down or already closed?

That can still be a fit. Some programs evaluate datasets from companies that are active, winding down, or closed—provided rights, privacy, and commercial terms allow.

Ready to find out what your data could be worth?

Send a short note about your company, the kind of data you have (or had), approximate team size, and whether you're active or winding down. We'll reply with a fit check—or a clear no.
