Why I started DillisData

Who I am

I founded Quordx Capital, a business funding company. My work has always come down to one thing: finding money for owners that they didn't know they could get, and making it simple to get.

Along the way I've built a lot of different solutions for businesses. The ones that worked all had something in common. They took something that felt hard or confusing and made it easy for the person running the company.

What I saw

This year I started paying close attention to who AI companies were paying for data. It wasn't only giant publishers. A closed startup's old Slack messages sold. An airline's email archive drew bids of millions of dollars. Records most owners think of as clutter were turning into checks.

When I looked at the prices AI data buyers publish, the math surprised me. A normal business with 50 to 200 people and some history could be holding an asset worth six figures that has never shown up on any balance sheet.

For a growing company, that's new top-line revenue. For an owner, it can be cash in your pocket. And for most companies, nothing about the business has to change to earn it. The records already exist. They're sitting in your inbox, your help desk and your shared drives right now.

Why I think you should move now

I don't believe this lasts forever. AI companies are paying today because they need real business records today, and they have enormous budgets to buy them. As they collect what they need and find other ways to train their models, the best prices will go to the companies that moved first.

Nobody knows exactly when this window closes. What I do know is that I'd hate for an owner to look back in a few years and realize they let one of the easiest paydays of their career pass them by. That's why I want to put this in front of as many business owners as I can.

How I run DillisData

• We work for you, not the buyer. Our job is to get you the best price and fair terms.
• You pay nothing. The buyer pays our fee on top of what they pay you.
• We never touch your data. Your records go straight from you to the buyer you choose, after you sign.
• We stay small on purpose. We take on a limited number of companies each month, so every deal gets real attention.
• We'll be straight with you. If a deal isn't right for your company, we'll say so.
