AI companies are paying established businesses to learn from their records. Heirloom gets your company a fair price: we bring your business to several buyers and negotiate for you. You approve everything, and we never touch your data.
No cost unless a deal closes
Illustrative example. Not a real company or real offers.
You may have seen headlines about AI. Here's why it matters to a business like yours.
Companies like OpenAI, Google and others are building AI that can answer customers, schedule jobs and handle paperwork. To learn, it needs real examples of how businesses actually run.
Years of emails, schedules, customer requests and files show how real work gets done. Most of that has never been online, so it's rare, and AI companies pay for it.
You license an anonymized copy. Names and private details are removed first. Your business, your customers and your data stay yours.
If your team runs on tools like these, you likely have something buyers want
The market for company data, in the news
Sign up with a single data company and you get one price, on their terms. We do what a good broker does: put your company in front of several buyers and make them compete.
| Going direct | With Heirloom | |
|---|---|---|
| Who sets the price | One buyer | Several buyers compete |
| Contract | Their template | Negotiated for you |
| Deletion rights | If offered | Pushed for in writing |
| On your side | No one | Us, start to finish |
| Cost to you | Not broken out | Disclosed before signing |
People, clients, phone numbers and account details are replaced before anything is delivered. What's valuable is how the problem got solved.
Made-up example. De-identification standards are written into each license and reviewed with you before you sign.
We represent you and guide every step, but we never receive, store or access your company's data.
We value your data, run the process, negotiate the terms and walk you through each step of the handoff.
Never touches your dataA secure upload link or read-only connection, set up under your license. You use it while logged in as yourself.
You choose the sources and can leave anything out. You approve redacted samples before full delivery.
We never ask for exports, logins or files. If anyone asks you to send data to Heirloom, it isn't us.
Timing varies by company and buyer. You can walk away any time before a license is signed.
Under NDA, we learn your business, your systems and what you'd be comfortable licensing.
An anonymous profile goes to multiple buyers. We come back with real offers.
Choose the offer and the sources. The license spells out use, retention and confidentiality.
Data is de-identified and delivered straight to the buyer. Payment follows acceptance.
No contact details needed. This range is deliberately conservative. Real numbers come from buyers.
Illustration only. Not a quote, offer or guarantee. Value depends on data volume, quality, sources, buyer demand and due diligence, and not every company qualifies.
Business carries on as usual. You license a de-identified copy of your records for a payment that never touches day-to-day operations.
The records you built don't have to disappear. Buyers usually value them based on the company at its peak, and proceeds can help close things out.
AI research labs, companies building AI tools for business, and the specialist data firms that supply them. Their models have learned from the public internet. To do real jobs, they need examples of how real teams handle real work, and that only exists inside companies like yours.
Data companies are buyers. We represent you. We take an anonymous profile of your company to several buyers, compare their offers and negotiate price and terms on your behalf, including how your data can be used, how long it's kept and your right to have it deleted.
Only when a deal closes. Our fee is a share of what you receive, agreed in writing up front. Some buyers also pay us a referral fee. We'll always tell you which ones, and it doesn't change our advice.
Identifying details are replaced before delivery, and you can leave out any source you're not comfortable with. We'll cover consent and contract questions for your business on the first call. We recommend having your own counsel review the final license.
No. Your company isn't named publicly, buyers see only redacted samples before signing, and the data is used to train and test AI systems, not published or sold to competitors.
Very little. An intro call, a review of the offers and sign-off on sources. Access is usually read-only and the technical work happens on the buyer's side.
No. Your data moves directly from your systems to the buyer's secure environment under the license you sign. We never ask for exports, logins or files, and we never store company data.
It depends on the buyer. Some pay once for a license. Others pay a share every time your de-identified data is licensed again. We'll lay out both kinds of offers side by side so you can choose.
With us, our agreement names Heirloom as your representative for a set period so we can run a proper process. With buyers, some ask for exclusivity and some don't. We'll flag it in every offer and negotiate it where it matters.
Some data needs extra care, such as health records, financial account details and anything covered by client confidentiality agreements. We'll identify it on the first call and either exclude it or make sure the license and de-identification standards cover it.
We'll tell you on the first call and explain what would change that. No cost, no obligation.
If you work with business owners or founders winding down a company, refer them to Heirloom. We pay a referral fee on deals that close, agreed in writing up front.
A short application is all it takes. We'll build an anonymous profile, take it to buyers and come back with real offers. Everything you share stays confidential.
