DataVendor: what it takes, how it earns, what to check

A self-serve marketplace where organizations list private code, datasets and AI training tasks for invited AI-company buyers.

By Information, not legal adviceHow we are paid

Type
Marketplace. Lists or licenses data to buyers and shares the revenue.
Data it wants

Private supply that models have not seen: codebases, tasksets, RL environments, text corpora and raw data.

Public repositories cannot be valued, because models are often trained on public code already.

Who it takes

Organizations only. Vendor setup is self-serve with no application review. A higher vendor tier, which can answer buyer requests, needs a signed agreement.

Not stated. Bank withdrawals run through Stripe, set up per payout country.

How it earns

A 20% platform fee on withdrawals to a bank. Earnings converted to its own platform credits carry no fee. Buyers pay a separate transaction fee.

Process
  1. Sign up with a work email, which creates an organization, and choose to list data.
  2. Accept a mutual NDA to open the workspace.
  3. Add assets and run the automated quality checks.
  4. Set a price and publish a listing. Buyers purchase it, take a sample or bid.
  5. Earnings settle 14 days after payment and can then be withdrawn.
Payout claims
  • You set the price. Its homepage shows codebase listings at $68K to $220K. The page does not say whether any of them were bought.
  • The minimum bank withdrawal is $1,000 before fees. A lost card dispute takes back the sale amount plus a $15 fee.

Public figure, see sourceSelf-reported by the company unless marked reported.

Security claims
  • No certification named on the pages we read.
  • Says buyers see metadata, redacted file trees and quality evidence before purchase, never the raw files.
  • Says vendors never learn who bought, bid on or sampled a listing.
De-identification and privacy

Not described on the pages we read. Buyers see redacted previews before purchase.

Terms for companies

  • License or ownership. Its docs say a purchase licenses your assets for a commercial use, and the usual starting point is that you keep ownership.

    Exact rights depend on the agreement behind the listing.

    Purchases are final, with no refunds.

  • Your warranties. Submitting a listing confirms you own the supply and may license it.
  • Your indemnity and audit. Not published.
  • Liability cap. Not published.
  • Governing law. Not published.

Check before you share anything

These are facts from the company's own pages or from news and court reports, listed so you can ask about them. They are not verdicts. Companies change their terms, so confirm each one on the company's own page.

  • Buyers stay anonymous, so you cannot see who licensed your data.
  • Purchases are final, and a buyer keeps access after you unpublish a listing.
  • The 20% fee applies when you withdraw cash. Converting to platform credits avoids it but cannot be reversed.
