How it works
Check fit. Agree what goes and what stays. Compare offers. Sign with the buyer. The buyer pays you.
- 1
Check
You answer four questions. You see an estimated fit and which buyer programs match your headcount, history, tools and status, based on what each buyer publishes.
- 2
Scope
We talk for 20 minutes. Which tools and date ranges could be in scope, what has to stay out (customer data, client-confidential work, financial accounts, anything regulated) and what your contracts say.
- 3
Compare offers
We introduce you to the buyers that fit. You get their offers and terms side by side: amount, structure, exclusivity, deletion, payment trigger.
- 4
Protect
Before you sign, we go through the agreement with you against our checklist. Your lawyer reads it. You decide.
- 5
Get paid
You sign directly with the buyer, the data moves between your systems and theirs, and the buyer pays you. We never see the data or the money.
