For established businesses
Your business records could be worth money to AI companies.
Companies building AI look for operational knowledge that isn’t on the public internet, such as the internal documents, process records and workflows your business creates every day. Answer two quick questions and we’ll suggest where to start.
- Start online, no call needed
- Value depends on partner review and your right to license
- You decide whether to proceed
Answer the questions above to see your next step.
Your business’s confidentiality obligations come first.
- You can begin without uploading confidential records.
- Ask the partner about privacy, security, access, and licensing terms before sharing records.
- Do not send customer, client, patient, employee, or other confidential records to TechStack Builders.
Our role is simple and independent.
An independent introducer
TechStack Builders isn’t the buyer and isn’t a party to any agreement. We point you to the partner’s own site.
No charge for the introduction
We don’t charge you for this introduction. We may receive compensation from the partner for qualifying referrals.
The partner decides
Each partner reviews your business and decides eligibility, scope and terms. You decide whether to proceed.
How it works
What happens next
Start on the partner’s site
Depending on your answers, you begin with an online estimate or company registration.
The partner evaluates potential fit
Operating history, the systems you use, the records available and your right to license them all matter, not just size.
You review any proposed terms
If the partner proposes terms, you review the scope and terms and decide whether to proceed. Involve your own advisers as needed.
An estimate isn’t an offer. Registering doesn’t authorize access to your records or commit your business to licensing.
Your next step
Business closed? Its operational records may still have value.
Records from a business that is no longer operating may still have value, subject to the partner’s current requirements.

Holding the records doesn’t by itself establish the right to license them. Do not send confidential records to TechStack Builders.

Questions
Do I have to pay TechStack Builders?
No. There’s no charge from TechStack Builders to get started or if you complete a data partnership. The partner pays us for qualifying referrals. Start with the online calculator or company registration. Neither step commits you to licensing your records.
What kinds of records might be relevant?
Usually your business’s own operational records: how work gets organized, documented and decided. For example:
- Internal documents and reports
- Process documentation and templates
- Office workflows
Each partner decides which records, if any, it can use. Not every record qualifies, and only records your business has the right to license could be included.
How do you choose where I start?
By business type and full-time employee count. It’s a starting suggestion, not an eligibility decision.
- Businesses with 30 or more full-time employees: micro1’s company registration.
- Under 30, and nonprofits: the calculator on Mode’s ai.mode.inc page. Its minimums are 10 full-time desk employees for legal; 15 for medical, accounting and finance; 50 for others and nonprofits. Non-desk staff are counted separately.
Viewing the calculator doesn’t confirm eligibility; below its minimum it shows the requirement instead of an estimate. Other Mode pages may show different criteria. Each partner makes its own decisions.
- Explore Mode’s calculator (opens in a new tab) Calculator access for businesses under 30 and nonprofits. The minimums above apply.
- Start micro1’s company registration (opens in a new tab) Company registration for businesses with 30 or more full-time employees.
Which countries and languages are covered?
It depends on the partner. Availability isn’t guaranteed anywhere.
- Mode’s calculator: the U.S., Canada, UK and Australia only.
- micro1: accepts referrals globally, with strongest demand in the U.S., UK and Canada; other regions depend on current opportunities. It looks primarily for companies that operate and keep their documentation in English.
What else affects fit?
More than size. Operating history, the systems you use, the records available and your authority to license them all matter. We don’t set our own minimums for years, files or systems.
What happens after the first step?
The partner reviews your business against its own requirements and explains any next steps.
With Mode, requesting a quote after viewing the calculator is a separate, optional step. With micro1, registering starts its review. Timing and outcomes vary. If terms are proposed, you decide whether to proceed.
Requesting a quote or registering does not itself commit your business to a data-licensing partnership.
What about confidential, client or patient information?
Not automatically. Customer, client, patient, employee, privileged and other confidential records need careful review first.
Each partner describes its own practices:
- Mode: removes sensitive material and removes or transforms personal identifiers in an agreed copy before onward delivery.
- micro1: removes personally identifiable information when relevant, keeps each company’s data in isolated pipelines, retains data only for agreed periods, and lets companies review representative samples.
These are the partners’ statements, not TechStack Builders guarantees. Ask how they apply to your business, including any healthcare-specific requirements, and involve your own advisers. We don’t confirm any partner’s compliance with healthcare privacy laws, and de-identification doesn’t on its own resolve confidentiality, privilege, consent or other obligations.
Can nonprofits take part?
Possibly, through Mode. The calculator on Mode’s ai.mode.inc page includes nonprofits in its “all other businesses or nonprofits” category, with a minimum of 50 full-time desk employees in the countries it lists. Below that minimum it may not provide an estimate.
micro1’s data-partnership page doesn’t address nonprofits. If you’re unsure, email us.
- Explore Mode’s calculator (opens in a new tab) Minimum of 50 full-time desk employees; U.S., Canada, UK and Australia only.
What if my business has closed?
micro1 offers a data-partnership opportunity for selected companies that are no longer operating. Our closed-business page explains the published requirements, relevant records, rights and privacy considerations, and how to begin.
The appropriate rights holder must confirm authority to license any records. Acceptance and compensation depend on micro1’s review and terms.
Do not send customer, client, patient, employee, or other confidential records to TechStack Builders.
