The public web is used up
Websites and books teach AI to write. They don't teach it how a support rep resolves a ticket, how a sales team works a pipeline, or how engineers ship code. Real company records do.
data licensing for business owners
Your company's history is worth money now.
AI labs pay for real business records that show how work actually gets done. Funded represents you, keeps your company anonymous, and brings you offers. You pay nothing unless a deal closes.

Why AI labs are buying business records.
The biggest AI companies have already trained on most of the public internet. To build AI that can actually do a job, they now need private, real-world examples of people doing that job. That's what your company has.
A de-identified copy, not your company
A lab licenses defined rights to a cleaned copy of selected records, often with a time-limited exclusivity. You keep ownership of your data and your business.
Real conversations, real outcomes
Years of history, many people working together, and systems that capture the whole story, from first email to closed ticket, are what make a data set valuable.
Personal information comes out first
A qualified de-identification provider removes names, contact details and other personal information inside your environment, before anything is delivered.
We run the deal so you don't have to
We package your data set anonymously, find qualified buyers, negotiate price and terms, coordinate the cleanup and closing, and stay with you until you're paid.
Operating or closed, both qualify
Active companies license history they already have. Closed companies can turn records sitting on a drive into a final payout, as long as they hold the rights.
what buyers want
The systems that make your data valuable.
Labs pay most for records that show real work from start to finish. If your team has lived in these tools for a few years, you're likely sitting on a licensable data set.

questions
The fine print, in plain English.
What is my data worth?
It depends on your headcount, years of history, which systems you use and how specialized your work is. Only a buyer sets the final price, but the free valuation gives you a realistic picture before you commit to anything.
Do I sell my data or license it?
Usually it's a license. The buyer gets defined rights to a de-identified copy, often with a time-limited exclusivity, and you keep ownership of your records and your business.
What about my employees' and customers' privacy?
Personal information is removed by a qualified de-identification provider inside your environment before delivery, and Funded never handles raw data. We recommend you review with your own attorney, especially if you hold health or financial data.
Will anyone know it's my company?
No. Your data set is presented to buyers anonymously, and your company is never named publicly. We sign a mutual NDA before any details are shared.
What does it cost?
The valuation call is free and there's nothing to pay upfront. Our fee and payment terms are walked through on your call and set out in a written agreement before anything moves.
How long does it take?
Most deals take four to ten weeks from first call to payment, depending on the size of the data set and the buyer's review.
Can a closed business qualify?
Yes. If the records still exist and you have the right to license them, a closed company can qualify.
Need working capital instead?
Funded still helps business owners get fast working capital, with offers from multiple funders compared for you.
