A potential source of cash without another equity round.
Eligible company records can be licensed as a separate asset. We help test whether there is a credible revenue opportunity, without asking the company to sell equity.
FOR VENTURE CAPITAL INVESTORS & PORTFOLIO TEAMS

One introduction.
A clear next step.
Nominate a portfolio company
Free to the fund and company. No installation needed to start.
Nominate a company.
Introduce its founder or share an overview you are authorised to provide. We help identify the right company contact.

Review the known systems, history and potential assets with the company. Agree any further access, inputs and handling before deeper work.
Progress with permission.
If the company appoints us, we agree extraction and buyer discussions. Use the first company’s evidence to decide whether to introduce others.
APPROVAL BEFORE ACCESS
The company keeps control.
An investor introduction does not grant access to company systems. No logins or raw files are needed for the initial enquiry. The company agrees the scope and handling of any further assessment, and separately approves extraction and buyer disclosure in writing.
Data & controlOUR FEE COMES FROM THE BUYER
A buyer-paid service.
No GeneralWork fees to the fund or portfolio company under our buyer-paid service.
We disclose relevant fees and relationships before an introduction. Any third-party expense requires prior approval. A transaction depends on buyer acceptance, rights and agreed terms.
QUESTIONS BEFORE YOU START
A clearer decision.
Does the company need to be a data business?
No. Buyers may be interested in records created through normal work: software development, engineering, finance, customer support or operations. Relevance depends on the records, context, history and available rights.
Is this only for distressed companies?
No. Operating businesses can explore licensing alongside their main activity. Companies winding down may also have relevant assets, but access and timing need particular attention.
Does the investor need to install anything?
No. Start with a company introduction. We offer an assisted assessment and agree the next steps with an authorised company contact. Our self-serve browser extension is awaiting Chrome Web Store approval; there is no need to wait for it to enquire.
What might the company earn?
That depends on the assets, permitted uses and buyer requirements. We seek commercial indications where there is a fit. Any estimate is indicative, not a buyer offer or a guarantee of payment.
Can we refer companies before they agree?
You can discuss non-confidential company information that you are authorised to share. The company must approve participation before any system access or disclosure of its records.
Have one company in mind?
Make the introduction. Give its team a clear first step and a route to buyers if it chooses to proceed.
