Founding cohort sold out · Broker seats open in November

AI buyers are paying. Bring the businesses.

Buyers pay for real operating history: email, documents, tickets, call recordings. You bring the business; the exchange vets it, publishes an anonymized deal sheet and de-identifies samples in the Clean Room before any buyer sees data. You stay broker of record and get paid at close.

Where buyers are buying

Every marked cell is demand nobody's filled yet.

Shade is live buyer demand. Numbers are listings. A corner mark means buyers want it and the exchange has 0-1 listings: the first broker to bring a business there owns the claim.

What the founding cohort got

$5,000 on your first close. Paid by data.cool, on top of your commission, when your first deal of $50,000 or more closes.
Broker Pro free for 12 months. No bond, no subscription: 100 unconfirmed listings, priority review and same-day alerts for new deals and buyer requests.

The terms

Owner first, always: List only businesses whose owner has engaged you. data.cool never contacts owners first: you send the owner your private link when you choose, and nothing goes live until the owner verifies and confirms. Listing a business without the owner's agreement, or using the exchange to test demand or pitch an owner, means immediate suspension, removal of all your listings and a forfeited bond.
No used data: Buyers' biggest fear is data that was already sold. When you list, declare your agreement with the business (engagement letter, LOI, NDA or verbal) and whether the data was sold before; the owner answers too, and buyers see both. Every copy we release is watermarked per buyer and every sample is scanned for them, so relisted data is caught and means suspension and a forfeited bond.
Broker of record: The first broker to list a business is broker of record. The claim is provisional until the owner confirms from their private link, and lapses 60 days after listing if they don't. Once the owner confirms, it's binding for 24 months from that date.
Owner-approved commission: Your commission (up to 25% of gross) is agreed with the owner and only counts once the owner approves it. It's paid from the sale proceeds at close, before the owner payout. data.cool never takes a cut of it.
Founding brokers: The first 50 accounts (now full). Founding brokers get a $5,000 bonus from data.cool when their first deal of $50,000+ closes, Broker Pro free for 12 months with no bond, and no Clean Room fee on businesses they list in that time. Their owners pay a 6% exchange fee instead of 12% on the broker's first 3 deals. Plus a Founding broker badge on their listings.
Referral override: Bring in another broker and earn 10% of the exchange fee on their closed deals for 12 months.

How we protect your deals

Encrypted identity. Business names, domains, owner and buyer contacts, verification evidence and OAuth tokens are encrypted field by field with AES-256-GCM before they reach the database. Keys are held outside it.
Nothing identifying in public. Deal sheets, the API and agent tools show coarse facts only: vertical, region, size bands, volume ranges, week listed. Never a name, domain or owner.
Every reveal is logged. When someone at data.cool decrypts identity, it's recorded with their name, reason and time. Before a purchase, buyers only ever see Clean Room samples.
De-identified samples. Clean Room replaces names, emails, phones and other personal data with per-deal pseudonyms, and each buyer's copy carries its own watermark so a leak traces back.
The owner chooses disclosure. Confidential deal: the buyer never learns who the owner is. Disclosed to counsel: identity goes only to the buyer's outside counsel, after the owner approves, through an expiring, logged link.
Purged when it ends. Identity on rejected, withdrawn or lapsed listings is purged 90 days after they end.

Your part. Owner data, samples and owner identity move only through the exchange, never by email or file share. Keep your sign-in email and API keys protected, never reveal a Confidential deal owner to a buyer, and report a suspected incident within 24 hours. See Broker Terms, Data security.

We use commercially reasonable administrative, technical and physical safeguards. No system is perfectly secure; if something goes wrong we'll tell affected owners and brokers promptly.
