Verb Data
Verb Data is a platform that lets US consumers earn passive income by selling access to their personal data through a transparent opt-in system. Users install a lightweight mobile app that runs in the background, with plain-English descriptions and payout rates shown for each data category, plus controls to toggle access or block specific buyers. Payouts are deposited on demand once earnings reach $15, with the Verb Scanner alone paying up to $30 per month.

Problem
Large technology companies and financial institutions collect and monetize personal data without compensating the individuals who generate it. Consumers have little visibility into how their data is used and receive no direct financial benefit from its value, while existing consent mechanisms are buried in lengthy agreements that obscure what users are actually agreeing to.
Solution
Verb Data provides a platform where anyone in America can profit directly from their own data through a simple, transparent opt-in system. A quick 90-second installation runs silently in the background, requiring no ongoing user attention, and every data category is described in plain English with the corresponding payout rate displayed upfront. Users toggle categories on or off at any time and can block specific buyers by name, maintaining control over who accesses their information. Payouts are deposited to the user's bank account on demand once earnings reach $15, with the Verb Scanner alone paying up to $30 per month. As new companies access the user's data pool, monthly income increases automatically, with immediate notifications when a raise occurs.
Target Audience
Individual consumers in the United States who want to monetize their personal data and retain control over who accesses it, particularly privacy-conscious smartphone users seeking passive income from information they already generate.
