Other data licensing channels
These broader marketplaces and specialist media or medical programs are separate from the 25 enterprise-data profiles above. Their inclusion does not imply they acquire arbitrary business records.
| Channel | What to distinguish |
|---|---|
| AWS Data Exchange | Cloud marketplace for third-party datasets; not a promise that AWS buys your internal archive. |
| Databricks Marketplace | Marketplace for data and AI assets, with provider listings and sharing infrastructure. |
| Datarade | A broader data marketplace; evaluate its provider route separately from direct enterprise-record licensing. |
| FirstParty | A data commercialization route to investigate separately; confirm current program fit directly. |
| Protege | Specialist AI data partnerships across several domains; confirm the relevant program and requirements. |
| Search.co | Data marketplace with a different listing and discovery model from a direct buyer. |
| Segmed | Medical-imaging data partnerships require specialist rights and privacy review. |
| Snowflake Marketplace | Marketplace distribution for data products, not a general commitment to buy a company archive. |
| Versos AI | A video-licensing platform; media rights and recording permissions need a separate assessment. |
