Nyne review: what sellers actually get

Nyne's floor is lower than most: 20 full-time US employees on W-2 payroll, three years of trading, and a decision-maker such as the owner or CEO who can approve the license. Nyne says size alone does not qualify you; the dataset also has to fit a need it has identified.

The partnerships page asks for more than the sell page does: whole chat histories from Slack, Teams or Google Chat, plus email, calendars and documents on top of the business systems.

Nyne says deals are commonly worth $100K or more. That is its own statement, not a guaranteed minimum. The estimator on its partnerships page showed a default range of about $45K to $104K and is labelled indicative.

Read the fine print on the price-match. Nyne looks only at net cash in a current written offer covering equivalent data, rights, payment conditions and work. It does not promise any set amount above it, and calculator results or "up to" numbers do not count. A real written offer from another buyer is what triggers it.

According to Nyne, names, IDs and customer details get stripped, and you may hold back entire categories of data. You transfer the data as it exists and Nyne does the cleanup on its side. It sets retention and deletion per engagement.

The seller contract is written for each deal. The master services agreement posted on Nyne's site is for companies buying its data services, so do not treat it as your license.

The Facebook ads promise more: deletion within 30 days and no sale to your competitors. If those promises matter to you, get them written into your contract rather than relying on the ad.

Introducers can earn up to $20,000 when a company they refer (20+ full-time US staff) closes a deal.

Nyne runs the same ad template across trades: your old dispatch data, deal files, media plans or manufacturing records "could be worth six figures". Those ads open a Facebook form.

A second page called Nyne AI runs plainer ads pointing to nyne.ai and names a 10-employee floor, half of what the site requires. Go by the site.

Nyne describes itself as a research and data company that supplies AI labs with licensed data and access to domain experts. TechCrunch covered its start as a people data business, matching public online profiles to build a picture of each person for AI agents. Nyne says it has provided tens of millions of dollars of data to labs and research companies; that figure is its own.

   Payment

   You are paid once the dataset is delivered and accepted, as your agreement sets out.

Nyne is a strong fit for a US company of 20 to 50 people with years of history in accounting, CRM and scheduling tools, especially field service and trades. Get a written offer from another buyer first, then use Nyne's promise to test it.

We run the same checks on every buyer we rank. They take an afternoon and they protect the one thing you cannot take back: the copy of your records.

• Find the legal entity. A registered company name, an address and at least one named person. A Facebook form alone is not enough.
• Get the offer and the contract in writing before any export. A sample agreement tells you more than a sales call.
• Ask who strips personal data, how, and when. You should approve the method and see a sample before anything leaves your systems.
• Ask where the data goes. Which AI companies receive it, whether you are told, and whether it can be resold.
• Ask how everyone is paid. By you, by the buyer, or out of your deal. Referral fees are normal; hidden ones are not.
• Get a second quote. Terms from at least one other buyer is the fastest way to know if an offer is fair.
