Our principles

A better way to put your data to work.

We believe companies should be rewarded for the data they create. Everything we do is built around fairness, transparency, and long-term partnerships.

Fair value

Competitive offers that reflect the real market value of your data — benchmarked, not guessed.

Clear, simple terms

No confusing legal language. A one-page summary sits on top of every agreement.

You stay in control

Choose what to share, how it’s used, and for how long. Exclude anything sensitive.

A positive impact

Help power AI that benefits businesses, industries, and society — on your terms.

Real money, flowing to the companies that create the data.

Our partners range from 20-person startups to public companies. Here’s what that looks like so far.

What we license

You’re probably sitting on more value than you think.

AI teams need high-quality, real-world data. If your company has years of it, there may be a buyer — even if it’s never left your servers.

What kind of data can I license?

Most text, image, audio, video, and code data that your company owns or has rights to can be licensed. Common examples include support conversations, documentation, archives, and media libraries. We’ll tell you quickly whether there’s demand.

Do I give up ownership of my data?

No. You grant a license with a defined scope, use, and duration. Ownership and intellectual property stay with you.

How is personal or sensitive information handled?

Personal and sensitive information is excluded or de-identified before any data is shared, and you decide what is in or out of scope. Your privacy and legal teams review everything before signing.

How much is my data worth?

It depends on volume, uniqueness, quality, and current demand. We review a sample and give you a concrete offer — there’s no cost or commitment to find out.

Who will use my data?

Vetted AI developers building models and products. Your agreement names the permitted uses, and you can exclude buyers or use cases you’re not comfortable with.

Why did PreTrainData contact me?

We reach out to companies whose data may be valuable for AI training. If you’re not interested, just let us know and we won’t follow up.
