Second Data
How it works

A clean sale, run like a real deal.

Our founding team comes from investment banking and private equity. We run every data sale the way we would run the sale of a business: clear diligence, clear documents, and payment at close.

Who we work with

Who we work with.

Data- and people-intensive businesses

Trades and field service businesses, software companies, professional services firms, and technical teams create valuable records every day. Selling or licensing an archive turns that record into cash without a loan or new investors.

This is not debt. There is no repayment, no interest, and no lien on your business.

Companies that were acquired

After an acquisition, the historical workspace, tickets, and documents often sit unused. The acquirer usually owns them, and they can be sold or licensed without affecting the business.

Companies winding down

If you are closing the business, in an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or in a bankruptcy process, your data may be one of the last assets that can return money to stakeholders.

We work with founders, boards, and their counsel, on the timeline the process requires.

The process

Five steps from first call to payment.

01

Intro call

A short, confidential call about what you have and what you need.

02

Data review

We look at a description and a small sample. We do not need full access to give you a price.

03

Buyer match

We package a de-identified sample and bring it to AI teams that need your type of data.

04

Rights check

We confirm ownership together, review contracts and privacy terms, and agree how personal details will be removed.

05

Close and transfer

Simple sale documents, a secure handoff, and payment within 7 days of close.

Deal structures

Choose what fits.

Sale

The buyer pays a fixed price. One set of documents, and you are paid within 7 days of close.

License

You keep ownership and grant usage rights. You receive cash up front, with the option to share in future licensing revenue.
