A few questions, about two minutes. You see which buyers fit, micro1 included.
Details on who qualifies
micro1 looks for “operationally mature companies with 30+ employees, established documentation, and high-quality operational data”. Written processes count most. A company with SOPs, a knowledge base, a CRM and project records has more to license than one whose processes live in people’s heads.
Details on pay
micro1 sets pay by “the quality, uniqueness, and value of the data provided”.
What micro1 does with your records
Your company keeps ownership of the data. micro1 says it removes personal information when relevant, moves data through isolated pipelines, lets you review representative samples before use, and honors deletion requests under the terms of each engagement.
How it works
- Apply. You submit your company for a short assessment.
- Evaluation. micro1 decides whether you fit.
- Discovery call. micro1 asks for more information and schedules a call.
- Partnership. If you’re approved, you agree the terms and data requirements, and the partnership begins.
If your company has closed
micro1 runs a second program for companies that are no longer operating, the Defunct Company Data Partnership. It asks for:
- 50+ employees at peak
- Substantial Slack or Microsoft Teams history
- A company based in the US, the UK, Canada, India, Australia, Singapore, Ireland, the Netherlands, Germany or France
- Data in English
Any industry can apply. micro1 doesn’t publish pay for this program. Keep the paid Slack or Teams plan running until micro1 has seen a sample, and read what to export after a shutdown before you cancel anything.
Before you apply
- Confirm who can sign a licensing agreement. For an operating company, that is an officer with authority. For a company in a formal insolvency process, it is usually the officeholder; see whether a company in administration can sell its data.
- Export the documentation before anyone cancels a subscription. The records disappear when the tools are shut off.
- Know which systems hold customer personal data, so you can say where it sits.
- Read your customer contracts for clauses that restrict licensing records that mention customers. An NDA or data processing agreement can rule out a dataset.
