Training agents to do real office work requires real company records, so Scale, Mercor, Handshake, Turing and others now pay businesses for their email, chat, tickets and code history.
@Secludy has released Who Sells Data, a free directory of 159 companies that sell training data, RL environments and evals to AI developers, with every fact linked to its source and the date it was checked.
Unknowns are marked rather than guessed, so an empty cell reads as “nobody confirmed this,” which is exactly what a security reviewer wants to know.
Eval builders, see how you stack up.

AI labs are buying data from dead startups to train their models
AI labs are increasingly buying code bases and workspace data (emails, chats, documents) from failing startups via firms like SimpleClosure and Sunset, as public and synthetic training datasets hit their limits. No clear benchmarks yet prove real-world archives outperform synthetic data, but deals are becoming routine, with valuations driven by speculative 'research theses' about data utility.
@FinanceYF5: 1/If you're looking for the next batch of AI data companies to watch, who should you look at first? Someone compiled an industry poll focused on startups selling data to AI labs, excluding large companies like Mercor, Surge, Handshake, and Turing. A total of 64 made the list.
