Common questions
How much do companies get paid for their data?
In the deals Origin helped place, between $235,000 and $2.4 million. Across the market, AI companies pay $20K to $5M for company records. The amount depends on the records, how many years they cover, the rights you hold and what buyers need.
Can a small company sell its data?
Yes. A 10-person field service contractor and a 12-person accounting and tax firm were each paid $235,000, and a 15-person construction contractor was paid $320,000. Years of linked records matter more than headcount.
What records did these companies license?
Work orders and service histories, claim files, maintenance task cards and logbooks, dispatch and telematics logs, workpapers and close checklists, imaging studies with reports, loan pipeline and underwriting records, call recordings and QA scorecards, plus Slack, Teams, SOPs and code. Personal information was removed or de-identified.
Are these typical results?
They are individual outcomes, not a forecast. Two companies in the same industry can be paid very different amounts depending on records, rights, demand and the agreed scope, such as exclusivity and permitted uses.
