A broker offers to license a company's data to AI developers

SourceX of Los Angeles says businesses, including closed ones, can sell prepared data through one contract, without dealing with each AI lab.

On 5 November 2026 SourceX Inc. announced its AI data licensing model. The page is marked as a paid press release, so these are the company's own claims.

Suppliers sign one master agreement with SourceX, not with AI developers. Each deal then gets a short confirmation fixing the dataset, the net payout and the terms. It can include exclusive AI-training rights for a stated term. Original records stay with the supplier, and a company can withdraw at no cost before signing.

After delivery SourceX reviews the data for up to 30 days. Payment is due within 60 days of a valid invoice, unless the signed terms say otherwise. The strongest fit, it says, is a knowledge-work firm with 50 or more full-time staff at its peak. Operating, acquired and wound-down businesses can qualify, after a check that they own the rights.

The release gives no payout amounts or deal volumes, so it shows the shape of the offer, not the price. For owners the useful part is the structure: one contract, per-deal terms, and a rights check up front. Who ends up buying is not named.
