I asked 36 people in AI who to talk to if you're selling a private dataset, like a shut-down startup's data:

19 votes: micro1 (@aliansarinik)

9 votes: Mercor (@BrendanFoody, @adarsh_exe, @suryamidha)

5 votes each:
- Handshake (@GarrettLord, @benmchristensen, @scottringwelski)
- SF Data (@brandonguo, @faizsiddiqii)

4 votes: Surge (@echen)

3 votes each:
- AfterQuery (@CarlosGeorgescu, @spencermateega)
- Ooak Data (@PLouisV, @ThomAub, @adeRL_g)

2 votes each:
- DataVendor (@seeklis, @parth220, @jayendra_ram)
- Grepped (@eriknewsha)
- Nyne (@michaelfanous1, Emad Fanous)
- Standard Data

36 people voted. People couldn't pick a company they work at or founded. Grepped received one negative vote as well. Disclosure: on this list, I'm a small investor in AfterQuery, Fleet, Ionic, Nyne, Ooak Data, Patronus, and SF Data. I didn't vote.
