FAQs
What types of data assets can I share?+
Potential assets include source code, product data, de-identified customer interactions, support data, operational workflows, domain expertise, documentation, and software environments. We assess each opportunity individually.
Can I license data while my company is still operating?+
Yes. Windfall works with both active and winding-down companies. You can explore individual datasets, repositories, or workflows without involving the rest of your business.
What if my company is winding down or shutting down?+
That's exactly the kind of situation where data assets often go untapped. We work with companies at every stage, including those sunsetting. We can help you extract value from your remaining data, code, and operational assets before they're lost, returning capital to founders and investors.
Do I have to share everything?+
No. You retain control over which assets are considered, what is included, who can access them, and which uses are permitted.
How is sensitive information handled?+
Assets are reviewed and sanitized before they are shared. Personal information, credentials, API keys, secrets, and other sensitive material are removed or excluded wherever applicable.
What will buyers use my data for?+
Buyers may use assets for AI model training, fine-tuning, evaluation, benchmarking, or reinforcement learning environment development. You review the intended use before agreeing to any license.
Who are the buyers?+
We work with vetted AI labs, model builders, and strategic data buyers looking for proprietary, real-world assets. We evaluate buyer fit and intended use before making introductions.
How much could my data be worth?+
Value depends on uniqueness, scale, quality, provenance, demand, rights, and preparation requirements. Transactions typically range from six to seven figures. We help you understand the potential before you commit to anything.
How long does the process take?+
The initial conversation is brief. Once we understand the assets, preparation and buyer matching typically progress over weeks rather than months.
Do I retain ownership?+
Licensing terms are agreed case by case. You can define the rights granted, permitted uses, duration, exclusivity, and access conditions.
