The quiet market for your data.
Mission
Every companygenerates data.Most don't realize
it's worth anything.it's worth anything.
The AI training dataset market hit $3.59B in 2025 and is projected to reach $8.60B by 2030 (Fortune Business Insights, ~21.9% CAGR). OpenAI, Anthropic, Google DeepMind, Meta AI, Microsoft, and hundreds of AI buyers are paying unprecedented sums for high-quality, domain-specific data. Reddit licensed its corpus to Google for $60M/year. News Corp signed a $250M+ deal with OpenAI over five years. Shutterstock's AI licensing business generated $104M in 2023 alone across deals with OpenAI, Meta, Apple, Google, and Amazon.
These are the deals that made headlines. There are thousands more happening privately. Healthcare systems licensing de-identified patient records. Insurance companies monetizing claims data. Call centers selling transcripts. Law firms packaging case filings.
FileYield exists because most companies sitting on valuable data have no idea how to price it, who to sell it to, or how to do it without legal exposure. We do.
Why a Brokerage
Not a marketplace.Not a platform.
A brokerage.A brokerage.
Public data marketplaces commoditize your data and race to the bottom on price. Direct negotiation means you're selling blind without market intelligence. A brokerage gives you leverage.
Private Deal FlowPrivate Deal Flow
Your data never appears on a public listing. Every introduction is curated, NDA-protected, and buyer-vetted.
500+ Buyer Outreach Network500+ Buyer Outreach Network
We surface listings to a network of 500+ AI companies through proactive outreach — from frontier labs like OpenAI and Anthropic to specialized vertical AI startups. Buyers in the active marketplace are vetted for legitimacy.
Fair Market PricingFair Market Pricing
We close dozens of deals a quarter. We know what healthcare data costs per record, what audio transcripts sell for per hour, what financial data commands per year.
Usage EnforcementUsage Enforcement
License terms aren't suggestions. We build audit clauses into every deal and monitor how buyers deploy your data in production.
Legal & ComplianceLegal & Compliance
HIPAA, GDPR, CCPA, the EU AI Act -- we handle regulatory compliance, PII stripping, and data governance so you don't have to hire a team.
Direct ConnectionDirect Connection
FileYield is a marketplace plus outreach hybrid. Sellers and buyers transact directly under terms they negotiate — we provide discovery, messaging, and the audit trail. We do not touch the data.
