OsventaFor data owners

How licensing your data works

Osventa is a broker, not a buyer. We represent your company to the AI labs that value your records most, run the whole deal, and the lab pays you. We only earn when you do.

A buyer wants your data cheap. A broker wants it priced right. Because Osventa never owns your data, our only job is to place it with the right lab on the best terms you can get.

The process

Six steps, and you approve each one

Timelines depend on volume and how much preparation the data needs. Your team spends a few hours; we handle the rest.

A few hours of your timeNo upfront feesYou approve every step
  1. 01

    Intro call and inventory

    Thirty minutes to understand what you hold: systems, years of history, volume and rights. Nothing is exported.

  2. 02

    Valuation

    We map your data to current lab demand and give you a realistic range, with what would move it up or down.

  3. 03

    Buyer matching

    We take an anonymised profile of your data to the labs most likely to value it, and gather competing interest.

  4. 04

    License negotiation

    We negotiate price, scope, term and usage limits on your behalf. You see every offer and choose the buyer.

  5. 05

    Preparation and samples

    We de-identify and export, in your environment where possible. You review samples before anything ships.

  6. 06

    Delivery and payout

    The lab checks the delivery against the agreed spec, accepts it and pays you. Our commission comes out of the deal, never on top.

Best-buyer matching

The right lab for who you are

The same records can be worth very different amounts to different labs. Matching is where most of the value in a deal is made.

We know who's buying what

Each lab is building something different: coding agents, enterprise agents, medical models, robotics. We track who needs your kind of record right now.

Competing interest, better terms

One buyer sets the price; several compete on it. We bring your profile to more than one lab whenever the data allows it.

Terms that fit your company

Non-exclusive by default, scoped usage, no standalone resale and deletion of raw files after training. Exclusivity only if you choose it and it pays.

What stays with you

  • Ownership of your data. Labs get a license, not the data itself.
  • The final say on every buyer and every term.
  • Sample review before anything is delivered.
  • The option to exclude any system, client or time period.

What we won’t license

  • Data you don't have the rights to, including client data under confidentiality terms.
  • Employee HR records and personal messages.
  • Personal data that can't be properly anonymised.
  • Anything going to buyers you haven't approved.

See Trust & data handling for how we de-identify, store and delete data.

Questions sellers ask

Does Osventa buy my data?
No. Osventa is a broker. The license is signed between your company and the AI lab, and the lab pays you. We earn a commission from the deal, so our incentive is the same as yours: the best price and terms.
Do we lose ownership of the data?
No. Labs receive a license to use the data for agreed purposes, usually training and evaluation. You keep ownership and can license the same data to others unless you choose an exclusive deal.
What kinds of companies is this for?
Usually companies with at least a few years of digital records that were never public: codebases with history, engineering and production records, clinical or legal files, transaction tables, media you hold the rights to. Size helps but matters less than depth and uniqueness.
Do we have to clean or anonymise the data first?
No. We handle de-identification and preparation, inside your environment where possible. If you want more value, our optional packaging service structures and documents the data too.
Who are the buyers?
Frontier AI labs and established model builders. You see who an offer comes from before you accept it, and you can rule out any buyer.
How and when do we get paid?
Typically a lump sum once the lab accepts the delivery, sometimes with recurring payments for ongoing data. The lab pays you; our commission is agreed with you upfront and comes out of the deal, never on top.
What does it cost us?
Nothing upfront. If there's no deal, there's no fee. Optional packaging is priced separately and only if you ask for it.
Is this allowed under GDPR?
It can be, if it's done properly. Personal data has to be anonymised or have a valid legal basis, special-category data (like health records) needs extra care, and client data under confidentiality terms stays out. We check this with you before any export. See our Trust page for details.
