If your company has closed

The business stopped. The records often did not: email and chat, documents, wikis, project files, code, tickets, CRM and design files.

Some AI buyers look specifically for closed companies. See The Market for public examples.

Questions sellers ask

  • What if my company has closed?

    That is our focus. Closed companies often still hold email, chat, documents, code and CRM records, and some buyers seek them out. We start by finding what remains and who holds the rights.

  • Email and chat history, documents and wikis, project files, code repositories, support tickets, CRM and design files. Buyers call this data. It shows how real work was done.

  • AI companies and data labs that license business records. Public examples with published programs for licensing business records include Mercor, micro1, Scale AI, Handshake AI and Turing (Project Lazarus). Market examples, not Basic Trace clients.

  • You do not need to send records to start. Before any records go to a buyer, a written agreement sets the terms. Raise specific confidentiality needs on the first call.

  • Zero upfront fees or retainers. The call, review and estimate cost you nothing.

  • You keep your business. Licensed records are shared under an agreement that sets the terms. We explain licensing versus sale before you agree to anything.
