Featured practice

AI data licensing

AI companies now pay for real-world data to train their models. We help organizations earn from records they already own, through two services operated by Minimus Ventures. The owner keeps ownership and pays nothing.

Clinical records · Film, TV and animation

LicenseMyData.com

For hospital and clinic groups, telehealth platforms and holders of film, television and animation libraries. An independent specialist removes identifying information to a documented, independently reviewed standard before any licensee sees anything. Depending on the buyer, the deal is a non-exclusive license that can be placed again and again, or a one-time exclusive buyout.

Company records · Operating or closing businesses

LicenseMyCompanyData.com

A free matching service for businesses with internal records such as email, chat, support tickets, CRM, finance and code. A few short questions match a company with the direct AI data buyers that fit it, and those buyers pay the company directly.
