Price drivers, in the buyers' words
Sell datasets to AI labs: what buyers say sets the price
Updated
Before you put a number on a dataset, look at what the buyers themselves say they pay for.
The price drivers the buyers name
For 14 of the 19 buyers on the board, a page on the board states what moves the price. Between them they name volume, years of history, headcount, the number of systems connected, rights, quality and how distinctive the operational knowledge is, and one bankruptcy court record names the bidding at auction itself.
How the price is quoted
In the unit column of the board on our dataset page, 6 of the 19 buyers are down as per company or data package, 1 as per hour of footage or audio and 1 as per dataset or listing; for the other 11, the board records no unit. With units that far apart, a like-for-like comparison is hard.
Before you approach a lab
- Measure the volume and the years of history you actually hold.
- Check who owns each part of it, including customers' and partners' data.
- Decide whether you would license it to one buyer or several.
