Data partnerships
Data partnerships between businesses and AI developers.
Quick answer
SourceX helps companies turn selected business records into licensed datasets for AI. In practice, we manage the whole licensing process: sourcing, qualification, rights review, contracts, data preparation, delivery and payment. A data partnership is a simple arrangement: a business licenses a defined dataset to an AI company for approved uses, such as training or testing models. We find the buyer, check the data and permissions, agree terms, and handle the transaction. The business approves every step.

What a data partnership includes#
- A defined scope: which systems, record types and date ranges are included.
- Approved uses: for example training, fine-tuning or evaluation — and explicit prohibited uses.
- Preparation requirements: what personal or confidential details to remove, and the agreed format.
- Commercial terms: fee structure, exclusivity, duration and payment timing.
- Delivery and deletion obligations.

One-time and recurring partnerships#
Some partnerships cover a single historical dataset. Others include periodic deliveries of new data, which can create recurring revenue when buyers need fresh information.
Frequently asked questions
Do I have to accept a partnership?
No. Submitting your company for review creates no obligation.
Does SourceX buy my data?
