Mission

Publicly reported content licensing agreements illustrate some ways organizations use third-party data. Those deals have specific rights, scope, and commercial terms; they do not establish a value for your dataset or a commitment to buy it. See our source-linked examples for context.
Before offering data, establish your rights and permissions, assess its quality, and identify the intended use. Personal, medical, financial, and confidential information may require additional safeguards and qualified review before any sharing.
FileYield helps organize descriptions, requests, and conversations. We do not inspect the underlying files, determine a reliable sale price, certify legal compliance, or guarantee a buyer.
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.
Disclosure ControlDisclosure Control
Sellers choose public or private visibility and decide when to share samples or underlying data.
Buyer Discovery & OutreachBuyer Discovery & Outreach
Approved listings can be discovered in the marketplace and surfaced through targeted outreach to relevant buyer categories.
Market-Guided PricingMarket-Guided Pricing
Public transactions and category research provide context, while the seller and buyer negotiate the actual price and terms.
Recorded Deal WorkflowRecorded Deal Workflow
Listings, messages, and offers stay organized so both sides can document what was represented and agreed.
Compliance CoordinationCompliance Coordination
FileYield surfaces PII and regulatory questions early; each party remains responsible for appropriate legal review, contracts, and safeguards.
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.
