About us
We help companies get paid for the data they already have
Databounties connects companies that hold valuable business data with the AI labs that need it. We value it, anonymise it and sell it to the highest-paying qualified buyer, so you don't have to work out how.
Why we exist
AI needs real-world data. Businesses have it.
AI labs have trained on most of the public internet. To build AI that can do real work, in accounting, science, engineering and operations, they now need the records businesses build up just by operating.
Those records sit in ledgers, lab systems and file shares at thousands of specialist companies. Most of those companies don't know their data has value, and even fewer have the time to find buyers, handle privacy law and negotiate a licence.
That's the gap we fill. We do the work in the middle, and both sides get what they need.
What we do
For companies
Turn your records into revenue
We check whether your data qualifies, value it, help you export it, clean and anonymise it, and run the sale with competing buyers, all under NDA.
Get a free valuationFor AI labs & researchers
Licensed data you can actually use
We source specialist, real-world datasets directly from companies, with rights cleared, personal data removed and delivery in the format your pipeline needs.
Request dataHow we work
No guesswork on price
We don't publish price ranges or quote numbers from a form. You get a valuation once we've seen what you hold, and it's based on what buyers are actually paying.
Privacy comes first
Personal data about your customers and staff is removed or anonymised before any buyer sees anything. Everything happens under NDA.
You stay in control
You approve every buyer and every licence. You license your data; you never give up ownership of it.
Paid when you are
No retainers and no upfront fees. We earn a commission when a sale completes, so we only do well when you do.
Honest about fit
Not every dataset is worth selling. If yours isn't, or the risk outweighs the reward, we'll tell you.
Responsible buyers only
We vet every buyer and every licence restricts how the data can be used, including bans on re-identification and resale.
The detail is in our data handling & security and responsible sourcing policies.
Who we work with
Specialist companies with years of records
Size matters less than depth. A small firm with a decade of well-kept records can be more valuable than a large one with generic data.
