How we introduce agencies to data buyers

What follows once the form is in?

1. Your note is read in full. The agency type, headcount, years trading, where project records live and whether your client contracts hand work product to the client. That last answer decides more than any other.
2. Each buyer's printed rules are checked. Every buyer sets its own: a headcount floor, the countries it buys in, the record types it is after and the ones it refuses. Your answers are held against those pages as they read that day.
3. We tell you who fits, by name. The reply lists buyers whose rules you appear to meet, the reason for each, and where to read their terms yourself. If nobody fits, we say so rather than stretch the point.
4. The choice is yours. Your name and email go to a buyer only after you answer yes about that particular buyer. From there you deal with them directly.

What don't we do?

We do not hold, receive, store or look at agency data. There is no upload on this site, and the form asks you not to paste records into it.

Agencies never pay us. Prices are never negotiated by us, nothing is signed in your name, and we never pretend to be a buyer. We are not a broker or a marketplace, and we never quote what an agency will be paid.

We are not lawyers. Every page here that touches contracts says the same thing: have your own counsel read the license before you sign.

How is this site paid for?

Through referral or introduction fees, paid by buyers. Several of them run open referral programs that reward whoever made the introduction once the company signs. Agencies are never charged, and no fee decides which buyers get named or how they are described.

Questions about the process

Do you see our data at any point?

No. We work from what you tell us on the form and by email: the kind of agency, its size and age, where records live and what your client contracts say. Samples, exports and data rooms are between you and the buyer, after you have chosen one.

Who pays you?

A buyer, and only after a deal is signed. Your license fee is untouched; referral money comes from the buyer's side.

Will you tell us what our archive is worth?

No. We point you to each buyer's published ranges and to deals that outlets such as Reuters have reported, and our worth estimate shows how those ranges were built. A real figure only comes from a buyer after it has looked at a sample.

Can we say no after you name a buyer?

Yes, and nothing about you will have left our inbox. Many founders read the terms we send and decide to wait. That is a perfectly good outcome.
