A valuation gives you an estimated ARR range, broken down by buyer type. If the number stacks up, we run the auction that turns it into revenue.
$1,000 · Around twenty questions · A number in 48 hours
Probably, if:
Probably not yet, if you launched eighteen months ago, or what you hold is essentially a customer list. Come back when there is history in it. The valuation will not find buyers where there are none, and we would rather tell you now than take $1,000 to tell you later.
Why this is worth an hour
Retailers, banks and telecoms have licensed their operational data to aggregators and Wall Street for decades and booked recurring revenue for it. Companies below that size almost never have. Not because their data is worth less, but because nobody has shown them a buyer or put a price on it.
The buyers are data aggregators, corporates, Wall Street funds and AI platforms, and what they pay for is live, recurring data they cannot get anywhere else. Ten years of your transactions, prices, volumes or lead times is that kind of data, and you add to it every day.
Around twenty questions about your data. Nothing to upload, nothing to connect.
A revenue range by buyer type, what drives it, and a written commentary, benchmarked against what buyers in your category actually pay.
Compliance, provenance and back-testing, and building the pack buyers bid on. One to three months depending on how quickly your side can turn things around. This is the only part you are billed monthly for, and it is the part whose pace you control.
Your auction opens and runs for 120 days, with buyer messaging visible to you throughout. Billing stops the day it opens. Multiple winning bidders, and the revenue comes to you.
You are billed only until your auction opens.
Around twenty questions in, a revenue range by buyer type. That is the whole of it, and it is where most people stop to think.
Getting ready for auction is a separate monthly subscription, quoted with your valuation so you see it before you decide anything. It runs one to three months, most often two, and it stops the day your auction opens. The 120 days the auction itself runs cost you nothing.
So the meter only runs while you are getting ready, which is the part you control. Cancel any month.
No success fees, no referral fees, no percentage of what you sell. Whatever the auction raises is yours.
Before an auction
A sample of the data, lagged history, a field dictionary, and due diligence covering personal data and your right to share. It comes from your side, but you are not guessing at any of it. We specify exactly what buyers need, check it before it goes out, and do it once so a single pack serves every bidder.
No. It is a structured questionnaire about the characteristics of your data — its type, coverage, history, refresh rate and what you are permitted to do with it. Nothing connects to your systems, nothing is uploaded, and no data leaves your business.
An estimate of the annual subscription revenue your data could earn across several buyers at once, given as a range rather than a single figure. It is a recurring revenue estimate, not a one-off sale price.
Then you have spent twenty questions finding out, and you stop. We would rather tell you early than run an auction that fails.
It is dealt with before anything reaches a buyer — removed, aggregated, or covered by a verified right to share, signed off before an auction opens. If a dataset cannot be made clean, it does not go to auction.
Buyers register on the platform, sign master terms covering IP and confidentiality, and are checked for compliance standing before they can bid. You then approve or exclude on top of that.
Only buyers you approve, and they are not told who you are. You can exclude competitors or any named entity before the auction opens.
No. Xferdata is the vendor of record, so buyers contract with us rather than with you. You are not set up as a data vendor and you are not negotiating with several buyers at once.
Yes. You keep ownership. Buyers get a license to use the data on agreed terms for an agreed period, and nothing changes hands outright unless you decide to sell it that way. Licensing is what makes the revenue recurring rather than one-off.
