Talk with Dan Smedstad about your next step.
Dan Smedstad · Founder of BidMyData.com and BlackGoldData.com
Dan runs BidMyData and can help you decide whether a fit check makes sense. The fit check itself is run by a third party at historypays.com, and any review, offer and agreement come from that provider, not from BidMyData.
BidMyData may receive a referral commission if a company introduced through this site completes a qualifying transaction.

Questions about the introduction or whether a review makes sense. Please don't send passwords or company files; they aren't needed.
Ask the AI assistant
Data Dan is this site's AI assistant, not Dan himself. Ask how licensing works, what stays out, or what a provider looks at.
Check your company's fit
Open the fit check on historypays.com to start your company's application. There's no cost to apply, and no files are collected on this site.

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.
Dan Smedstad
Founder, BidMyData.com & BlackGoldData.com
Dan has been a petroleum landman for 35+ years across 12 states, working leases, title, runsheets and curative, so he knows that whoever holds the rights sets the terms. He started BidMyData so business owners could explore what their own records might earn, and keep the decision. His part is to introduce an eligible company to a fit check and leave any offer in writing. He doesn't buy the records, value the company or negotiate with an AI lab for you. He also runs BlackGoldData.com for oil and gas owners. He's based in Katy, Texas.
