Polyshares
Polyshares buys operational data from companies—including Slack, email, ticketing, CRM, and file records—and licenses it to AI labs. Sellers pay nothing, keep ownership, and receive $100K to $2M+ per license within one to two weeks of intake. The company acts as the sole buyer, anonymizing data before resale.

Problem
Companies produce vast amounts of operational data through everyday tools like Slack, email, ticketing systems, CRMs, and file storage, but have no straightforward way to monetize this resource. Meanwhile, AI labs need large, diverse, and realistic datasets to train models, and struggle to acquire high-quality operational records at scale through traditional channels.
Solution
Polyshares directly licenses the operating records a business generates, acting as the sole buyer in each transaction. Companies submit an intake form describing their tool usage, headcount, and data volumes, and Polyshares evaluates and prices the record within one to two weeks. Once terms are papered, the company delivers its data, which Polyshares anonymizes before reselling it to AI labs. The selling company pays nothing, retains ownership of its data, and receives payment on net 30 to 60 terms. Polyshares operates without any marketplace, listing, or auction structure—it is the counterparty on every deal.
Target Audience
Polyshares targets established companies of any industry that run on standard operational tools (Slack, email, CRM, ticketing, files) and own the rights to their internal data, with a particular focus on businesses with white-collar desk roles and substantial English-language data.
