Why a closed company still has something to license
AI companies are training their models to do real work in real industries. For that they need records of how work was done: the email thread from first request to sign-off, the project folder with every revision, the CRM notes on why a deal closed or fell through. A company that traded for ten years and then closed holds exactly that, often untouched on an old server, a cloud account that is still paid for, or a box of drives.
The buyer does not care that the company stopped. The records describe work that happened. That is what gets licensed.
What the buyer looks for
- Company email, ideally the whole archive rather than one mailbox
- Project and client files: proposals, revisions, deliverables, handover notes
- CRM or sales history, support tickets, internal procedures
- Accounting workflow records, not the ledgers themselves
What has to be true before you apply
You hold the rights
You need the right to license the records. If the company was sold, or its assets were assigned in a formal wind-up, check with whoever handled it before you apply. The buyer will ask.
The records still exist
An old server, a cloud account, exported mailboxes, a set of drives. Paper does not count. The buyer licenses a copy, so you keep whatever you have.
How it works
Answer seven questions on the home page. If the company fits, you get the application link straight away and a copy by email. The buyer reviews what you have, removes personal and sensitive details from the copy, and makes an offer. Your company, or you as its former owner, is paid directly. We are paid a referral fee by the buyer, never by you.
One buyer's own program page lists $100K to $2M+ as compensation to the company for an approved data package. The buyer decides, and we promise nothing.
