What is an enterprise data partnership at micro1?
The short answer
An enterprise data partnership is micro1's corpus track: a company-data partnership for AI development, paid under the agreed terms. micro1 says companies keep ownership of their underlying data. micro1's pages list tiers of $100K+, $500K+ and $1M+. Its Enterprise Data Partnership listing says $100K-$2M+ for approved packages. Both are self-reported.
The phrase appears on micro1's data partnerships page and in the forum recording. The recording has no date and only automatic captions.
What does the track cover?
A company's data corpus. That means the records its tools hold, such as Google Workspace, Slack, project management tools and GitHub.
In the undated talk, micro1's CFO said the value is the path from a request to a deliverable across tools. The product is context. Names and vendor line items matter less.
micro1's current public criteria list 30+ employees, mature operations and primarily English documentation, with US companies prioritized.
Acceptance depends on its review and current demand. The undated forum talk gave earlier figures for staff, size and language, which are history.
micro1 says companies keep ownership of their underlying data.
Confirm licensed uses, duration, exclusivity and payment structure in the proposed agreement.
What do the three tiers mean?
Per micro1's page, $100K+ covers qualified enterprise data partnerships. $500K+ covers large-scale operational datasets or ongoing multi-team participation. $1M+ covers highly unique proprietary data. Tiers are set per deal, and the page names no AI labs.
In the undated talk, David Revland, who works on human data at micro1, said micro1 may also come back for a top-up about six months after a corpus deal, covering newer data. It promises no outcome to you.
How does it differ from the workflows track?
A corpus deal is one transfer. In the workflows track, employees use a general-purpose AI agent on their real daily work and grade the result. micro1 receives the grade and the agent's trajectory.
In the undated talk, the CFO described pay per completed task in the high hundreds of dollars for a couple of hours of work. We could not confirm that figure word for word in the captions. A company can do both.
What is the process?
In the undated recorded forum talk micro1's David Revland described a sequence of steps, shown here as five stages. In that undated talk, micro1's CFO estimated about 10 hours of work from one or two of your IT people over a week or two.

What does micro1's partner post add?
micro1 also runs a public Enterprise Data Partnership post, and the post carries no date. It asks for companies with 30 to 200 employees. micro1's main pages say 30+ with no upper limit, so a company over 200 should confirm the program with micro1.
It wants mature workflows, written processes and modern software tools. It lists SOPs, playbooks, knowledge bases, project workflows, internal messages, CRM and workflow metadata and task histories.
Industries named include technology, finance, consulting, legal, healthcare administration and logistics.
The post gives no per-company amount and no tiers, though it cites totals for micro1 as a whole. It says pay is "significant" and depends on five things:
- Dataset size
- Workflow complexity
- How unique the knowledge is
- Data quality
- The domain expertise it shows
That is micro1's own claim. Nobody can promise you a number from it.
To apply, you fill in a form of about two minutes. micro1 says it handles coordination and anonymization. The post gives no timeline.

What about privacy?
micro1's CFO said in an undated recorded forum talk that every corpus goes through a scrubbing step. Revland said it swaps names for consistent stand-ins across tools.
micro1 staff said companies cannot pre-scrub, because redacting first would remove the trail it needs. Ask who holds the name mapping and for how long. See data de-identification.
Run the rights check before you apply.
Their FAQ, in plain words
The post has no FAQ list. Its "Security" and "Why partner with us" blocks answer the usual questions, so we restate them in our words.
Who can join?
The undated post asks for 30 to 200 employees, steady workflows and written processes. micro1's main pages say 30+ with no upper limit, so a company over 200 should confirm the program with micro1. micro1 picks the partners.
What happens to our data?
micro1 says it keeps the original files only to process them, scrubs sensitive details and removes confidential items. It says "Original datasets are deleted after processing."
It also says nothing is shared publicly, no customer information is exposed and you keep ownership. The contract is not public, so ask to read it first.
How does micro1 pay us?
micro1 says selected partners get significant pay based on the five factors above. It gives no figure on this post.
How much work is it for our team?
micro1 says it handles coordination, anonymization and program management so your team has little disruption. The CFO's undated recorded forum talk, noted above, put IT time at about 10 hours.
Why does micro1 want this?
It says real company workflows help it train and test AI in realistic business settings. It says it does not aim to copy your business or customers.
Have a lawyer read any contract before you sign. They like that.
