AI is trained on how real work gets done. Your emails, support tickets, CRM history and team chats document how your business works. BidMyData helps an owner explore a license of company-owned records the business already created, with Dan Smedstad alongside. You keep control of the pace, and there's no obligation to continue.

How data licensing works: a 3-minute walkthrough
Cloudwrx's explainer walks through the application, offer review, data preparation and payment process. Captions are built in. Watching is optional.
The video describes Cloudwrx's process. Eligibility, offers, timing and data protections depend on the provider's review and written terms. Payment isn't guaranteed, and de-identification doesn't replace permission or privilege review.

AI has read the internet. It can't see how a real business runs.
Public websites show what companies say. Your records show what they actually do, and that's what AI needs to learn:
- Real workflows. How a ticket gets resolved, a proposal gets built or an order gets fixed, step by step across your tools.
- Real decisions. Approvals, exceptions and escalations: the judgment calls no manual ever captures.
- Real outcomes. What happened next, so models learn what actually works.
What a provider looks at
- A desk team in your systemsPeople who work in the company's email and software. Field crews aren't the qualifying desk count.
- Several years of usable historyThe value, if any, is in work that has already happened.
- Work spread across systemsEmail, team chat, files, CRM, support desk, projects, accounting and more.
- Rights to the recordsCompany-owned work, with client, partner and vendor limits reviewed first.
Established businesses with documented office workflows and several years of usable history. Requirements vary by provider, sector and dataset, and the provider confirms fit for its own program. No single headcount on this site decides anything.
Five steps. The agreement does the promising.
It starts with a description of your records, not the records themselves, and nothing moves until you've read the agreement.
Five steps. The agreement does the promising.
- 01
Describe the records, before any files
Which systems hold the company's own work, and how many years that history covers. No raw files at this step.
- 02
Scope, eligibility and rights
What the company owns, what a client or partner restricts, and what stays out.
- 03
Offer and agreement review
If a provider wants to proceed, you read the offer and the agreement before anything moves.
- 04
Approved processing and transfer
Only what the agreement covers, prepared the way the agreement specifies.
- 05
Acceptance and payment
If a transaction closes, payment follows the signed agreement. No amount or date is stated here.
This site doesn't state an amount or a fixed timetable. A timeline you hear on a fit check is that provider's description, not a promise from BidMyData.
The agreement sets the terms. Nothing moves before you read it.
What may be included, how it may be used, how long a copy is kept and how personal details are handled belong in the agreement. This site doesn't invent those clauses.
"Hi Devin, our pallet order PO-7731 shipped to 1420 Cedar St, Tulsa, but we were invoiced twice. Can you fix it?"
"Hi Agent 1, our pallet order [PO number] shipped to [address removed], but we were invoiced twice. Can you fix it?"
The workflow survives; the people don't. How it's done is set by the agreement.
Fictional example for illustration. De-identification is contractual and operational, not zero-risk, and removing a name doesn't by itself end privilege or confidentiality.
Scope is a choice
Systems, date ranges, record types and whole categories can be left out.
Terms before transfer
Scope and permitted uses are reviewed before anything moves.
Names handled by agreement
Removal or replacement before a training copy, as the agreement requires.
Copy terms in writing
How long a copy is kept belongs in the agreement you read first.
Kept out unless a review and the agreement say otherwise: privileged material and client matter files, health information and biometric data, payment card and bank account numbers, passwords and credentials, data about minors, export-controlled or classified information, another party's data or licensed third-party content, and sensitive personnel, safety or critical infrastructure details. Scope is a choice, so you can leave out anything else, such as pricing or trade secrets. Full list. This site doesn't ask for raw files, passwords, client examples or exports. If you sign an agreement, the agreed material is prepared and transferred under that document.
What the range means, and what it doesn't
The range is cited in Mode marketing materials. It isn't a valuation, an estimate or a guarantee for any company, and this site doesn't state an amount or a date for yours.

What could our data be worth?
This site won't estimate yours. Mode marketing materials cite a potential range of $100,000 to $5 million. That's not a valuation, estimate or guarantee for any company. Many companies may not qualify or may receive less, and any offer depends on partner review and a written agreement. This site doesn't state an amount or a date for any company. If a company accepts an offer, payment follows the agreement it actually signs.
Which companies are a fit?
Established businesses with documented office workflows and several years of usable history. Requirements vary by provider, sector and dataset, and the provider confirms fit for its own program. No single headcount on this site decides anything. Desk work is what counts: people who work in the company's email and software. Field crews, rig hands, shop-floor workers and jobsite crews aren't the qualifying desk count. Whether contractors count depends on the provider and on how the work is documented. Run the readiness check or see where the work lives.
Can law firms qualify?
Law firms of all practice areas may qualify: personal injury, family, estate planning, business, real estate, title opinion, immigration, employment and more. A firm isn't automatically in. Smaller specialist firms may warrant individual review, fit is confirmed by the provider, and privilege and client confidentiality aren't waived. See the law firms page.
Do we give up ownership of our records?
This website doesn't decide that. A possible license is defined in an agreement you review first: what's included, how it may be used and what stays with the company. Nothing here is a transfer, and nothing moves before that review.
What does it cost to look?
Reading this site and continuing to the fit check has no fee charged here. Any commercial terms belong in an agreement you review before you commit. Exploring fit doesn't promise an offer or a payment.
Who runs this site, and does it receive a commission?
BidMyData.com is owned and operated by Dan Smedstad, founder of BidMyData.com and BlackGoldData.com. BidMyData may receive a referral commission if a company introduced through this site completes a qualifying transaction. The amount isn't stated here. It's not a charge to use this website, and it doesn't replace your own review of any agreement. Data Dan is this site's AI assistant, not Dan.
The conversation stays with you.
A license, not a sale of the company
The question is whether records the business already keeps could be licensed. BidMyData doesn't buy the data or the company.
Terms come before any transfer
Scope, permitted uses and the agreement are reviewed before anything moves. Reading this site isn't a transfer.
Payment follows an actual agreement
If a transaction closes, the amount and the date are whatever that agreement says. This site states neither.
