We buy your company's operational data.
Polyshares licenses the operating record a business produces by running, Slack, email, tickets, CRM, files, and supplies it to AI labs. Typical deals run $100K to $2M and above. The company pays nothing and keeps its data.

The people pricing your record have run companies.
Our partners have carried a P&L. They know what an operating record is worth because they spent years producing one, and the people you meet on the first call are the people who decide.

Questions owners ask first.
Does Polyshares buy company data, or broker it?
We buy it. Polyshares is the counterparty on the deal. We license the data directly from the company that produced it, pay for it ourselves, and supply the AI labs. Nothing is listed anywhere and there is no third party for the company to deal with.
What does it cost the company?
Nothing. There is no fee and no commission, because we are not working on your behalf. We are buying. Money moves in one direction, from us to you.
How much does Polyshares pay?
Deals typically land between $100K and $2M, and run higher for large or long records. Depth of operating history and how much visible reasoning the record contains move the number far more than raw volume does.
When does the money arrive?
Net 30 to 60, once the data has been approved, shared, and anonymized. We do not pay for a record we have not seen, so the review comes first.
Which companies qualify?
Any business with real operating history, in any sector. Software, logistics, manufacturing, professional services, healthcare administration, financial services, retail, hospitality, construction and more. Venture backed, middle market, or founder owned. The length and texture of the record matter more than headcount or revenue.
What happens to the data afterwards?
We anonymize it, build it into data sets, and supply AI labs. Use is bounded by the license, and we do not disclose which labs take which data.
Who else is bidding, and why pick a buyer over a marketplace?
Marketplaces list your data and take a cut when someone eventually buys. We are the buyer. You get one counterparty, an offer within one to two weeks, and no listing fee. Nothing is public.
Can I talk to someone before filling anything in?
Yes. Book a call and someone on the team will walk you through the same questions the form asks. Most owners find the form faster. Book a call
What counts as operational data?
The working record of the business. Slack, email, Drive, spreadsheets, CRM history, support tickets, design files, call recordings, accounting and ERP exports.
Is the data anonymized before anyone sees it?
Yes. Identifying fields, customer names, emails, and account numbers are stripped by a specialist PII partner before Polyshares or any lab sees the record. Nothing moves until that is done.
Do you review the record before paying?
We read a sample of the record. That is how we price it, and why we do not pay for something we have not seen.
What does the license cover?
Defined material for a defined term. It does not cover what you hold on behalf of your own clients. You keep the business, the data, and the right to keep using it exactly as before.
Two minutes to find out what your record is worth.
Answer three quick questions. Someone on the team reads them before your call.
