About us

Years of experience. A new kind of return.

We help established businesses get paid for licensing selected records to AI labs. We negotiate on their behalf and manage the process.

Why we exist

The conversation was lopsided.

When data buyers started approaching business owners we know, and us, the imbalance was obvious. Buyers arrived with teams, templates and a clear idea of what they wanted. Owners had a cold email and a lot of questions. Is this legitimate? What is it worth? What happens to our clients’ information? Who is on our side?

Cascade exists so owners don’t have to work it out alone. We bring the opportunity to AI labs, compare what’s on offer, negotiate the terms and manage the process, while you keep the final say.

How we work

Five principles we don’t bend.

We work for the owner.
Our job is to get you the best available terms. We’re paid a success fee only if you sign a license, so our incentives match yours.
Rights and privacy come first.
They’re reviewed before any records are shared, as part of agreeing the scope.
A conversation comes first.
No files, no logins and no system access to get started. You decide what, if anything, happens next.
You decide.
Scope, offers and the signature are yours. You can walk away at any point before you sign.
One point of contact.
We coordinate reviews, communication and next steps with the labs, so you have one point of contact.

To be clear

What we’re not.

We’re not a data marketplace. We’re not a law firm, and nothing we say is legal advice. We work alongside your counsel and encourage you to involve them.

We are your representative: one point of contact, on your side of the table, from the first conversation to a signed license. See how it works.
