Stop signing personal guarantees on commercial bank loans or bleeding operational margins to daily merchant advances. Frontier and vertical AI companies are paying $100,000 to $2,000,000+ in lump-sum cash to license historical business software archives (Slack, Teams, CRMs, ERPs, call recordings). Zero debt, zero equity, and you retain 100% ongoing operational use.

How Institutional Buyers Evaluate Operational Data
Every company's software archive is unique. Formal dollar valuations are never estimated through arbitrary algorithms—they are determined directly by institutional AI buyers following a 5-minute intake and mutual NDA.
Multi-year project communications, team decisions, and client resolutions across Slack, Microsoft Teams, and ticketing systems.
3 to 10+ years of uninterrupted operating history. The longer and deeper the operational footprint, the more valuable the training corpus.
Structured records across CRM, ERP, accounting, project management, and field-ops platforms (HubSpot, Salesforce, NetSuite, Procore, ServiceTitan).
All data must be eligible for independent third-party PII scrubbing so zero customer names, phone numbers, or private identities are ever delivered.
Complete the 5-minute intake. The institutional buyer reviews your system breadth and delivers an official written dollar valuation backed by a mutual NDA. Zero data leaves your systems during intake.

We understand business owners are protective of their customer and employee privacy. That is why Polyshares maintains an institutional security framework:
Two-Person Firewall: Only senior managing partners can ever see a seller's company name alongside its data. Engineers and AI labs only ever see anonymized records under random code designations.
Specialist Third-Party PII Partner: All records pass through dedicated scrubbing algorithms to strip names, phone numbers, email addresses, SSNs, credit card numbers, and proprietary client identities before delivery.
Zero Data at Intake: No operational data leaves your servers during the 5-minute intake. You only specify approximate record volumes and tool names to establish your initial valuation.
Everything Owners Ask Before Licensing Data
Yes. Data licensing is structured as an operating software licensing transaction, not the sale or liquidation of your core corporate entity or primary intellectual property. Polyshares signs a mutual NDA and evaluates standard authorizations during the initial 1–2 week review.
Not at all. You retain 100% ongoing operational use of all software (Slack, Teams, CRM, ERP, QuickBooks, ServiceTitan). You continue running your business normally without interruption.
Buyers are tier-1 frontier AI research laboratories and specialized vertical AI companies training next-generation autonomous business reasoning agents. Public internet data (Reddit, Wikipedia, books) has been fully consumed. Multi-year corporate operational records—reflecting real-world project estimation, customer communications, and supply chains—are the rarest and most valuable assets in AI development.
After completing the 5-minute intake, Polyshares delivers a formal written dollar offer in 1 to 2 weeks (valid for 14 days). Once accepted, data extraction and automated third-party PII scrubbing take approximately 1 to 2 weeks, followed by immediate wire payment.
Skip the underwriting debt loops. Receive a formal written offer from $100,000 to $2,000,000+ in 1 to 2 weeks.
