For AI labs and data teams
Real workplace data, sourced and vetted at the source.
FileFunding brings AI labs vetted, ready-to-sell data owners. We find companies, active, winding down or closed, whose email, chat, tickets, docs and code show how real work gets done. We check who can sign and what can be licensed, configure the data to your brief, and bring you the owner with the paperwork that goes with it. We don't hold inventory or resell data.
We describe categories, not inventory. Tell us what you need and we'll tell you what we can source.

Data we source
Email, team chat, tickets, docs and SOPs, code history, CRM, and call and screen recordings, by industry.
See categories →Provenance and consent
Authority to sign, rights checks, privacy carve-outs and de-identification, documented per lot.
How we vet →How it works
Brief, sourcing, vetting, profile and sample, then license and delivery.
The process →Why archives from real companies
- Years of multi-person threads with real decisions, handoffs, disagreements and judgment calls
- Depth in specific industries: logistics, construction, accounting, legal, healthcare administration, software and more
- Work tied to the tools agents must learn to use: ticketing, CRM, docs, code review
- No synthetic artifacts, such as references to dates or people that don't exist
"One company's Slack history, if it captures conversations with variety and depth, can be worth more than another's Slack, email, and calendars combined."
MIT Technology Review, paraphrasing Surge AI's Nick Heiner, Oct 13, 2026
How we work with you
- Directly with your data and partnerships team
- Vetted, ready-to-sell data owners, not cold leads
- Sourcing to your brief: category, industry, company size, era and scale
- Authority and rights checked before a lot is offered
- A provenance pack with every lot
- No scraped or purchased-list data
- No consumer databases
- No data a company can't show it has the right to license
Questions labs ask
Do you have datasets ready to buy today?
We source to a brief rather than publish an inventory. Tell us the categories, industries, era and scale you need and we'll tell you honestly what we can find and how long it should take.
Do you sell the data yourselves?
No. We don't buy, hold or resell data. Each deal is agreed between your lab and the data owner: license or purchase, exclusive or non-exclusive, with the permitted uses written into the agreement. We vet the owner, configure the data to your brief and run the process.
How is personal data handled?
Data is de-identified before delivery under a method agreed for each lot and documented in its provenance pack. HR, medical and payment data and consumer databases are excluded by default.
Who signs on the seller side?
An authorized officer of the company, or the trustee or assignee where the company is in bankruptcy or an assignment for the benefit of creditors. We check authority before a lot is offered.
Can our agents talk to you?
Agent access is being built. See agent access for what's planned; until then, the request form works for people and agents alike.
