Getting started

Yes. Some vendors list existing assets first, then pursue opportunities later. Others are a better fit for opportunities from the start. DataVendor can help decide which path makes sense based on what you have and what you want to do.
Tier 1 unlocks listings, Tier 2 unlocks opportunities and takes one signature, and Tier 3 is invite-only. See Vendor tiers.
You can bring any supply you would like to potentially monetize. If preparing a formal listing would take substantial effort, contact DataVendor with a small representative sample first so the team can help assess fit. For codebases, the estimator gives an advisory value before you list anything.
A short inventory of what you could list: the asset type, where it came from, who owns it, whether you have the right to license it, what documentation exists, and any obvious restrictions. A small representative sample also helps DataVendor recommend next steps.
Yes, if you have a real supply network and the right to represent that supply. DataVendor can work with partners who bring multiple vendors or assets into the marketplace. Revenue share, representation rights, and commercial terms are agreed case by case.
Yes. Choose Refer a vendor in your account menu for your referral code and a shareable link. Vendors who set up their organization through it are attributed to you, and DataVendor pays you a referral fee out of its own share on deals it closes with them. Each fee lands in your wallet once the buyer’s payment clears, settles with the referred vendor’s sale, and can be withdrawn without the platform fee. The Data vendor referral agreement sets out the rates and conditions.

Listing your supply

The code plus the context that explains why it matters, with secrets and customer data removed. The checklist is on What you can sell.
No. Connect GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket, or upload the repository as a ZIP. See Add assets. DataVendor only needs access to the repositories you choose, and you should not connect or upload anything you are not allowed to share.
Upload them in the app, through Inventory or a listing. Do not send data or code by chat or email. If the app does not support your asset type yet, or the material needs special handling, book a call and DataVendor will agree an intake path with you first.
Automated quality checks run first. Mandatory checks gate publishing; once they clear, publish the listing with Go live. A listing does not guarantee a transaction, but better documentation and cleaner rights usually make matching faster. DataVendor estimates that vendors typically complete at least one deal within 2–8 weeks, with high-quality supply moving faster. Earnings from a sale settle 14 days after payment; see Get paid.
Mandatory checks, the ones that gate publishing, are always free and deterministic. Recommended environment checks are credit-priced per check; the quote shows the exact total before you start a run, and re-running a single failed check costs that check’s current price. A passing re-run re-certifies without re-buying the whole suite.
A listing is DV quality certified, and shows the verified badge, when both Required to publish and Verified badge in its quality checks pass with nothing skipped, including every recommended environment check that applies to its assets. Insights never affect it. Using skip review forfeits the badge for that run, and editing the listing or refreshing its assets removes it until checks pass again.
No. DataVendor may use descriptions, summaries, metadata, redacted previews, or approved samples to help buyers evaluate the asset, but buyers cannot download your raw uploaded files before purchase.
You see published listings, their prices, and the organizations that published them in the catalog, the same view buyers have. Until your team has live listings of its own, that view is limited to the first page (see the next question). Other vendors’ drafts, private listings, and raw files are never visible to you, just as yours are never visible to them.
Vendor-only teams see the first page of the catalog until they have 2 live published listings of their own, the browse gate. Search, filters, sorting, and further pages unlock then; the browse page shows your progress. Buyer teams are exempt, listing links always open, and hiding or archiving listings can lock the gate again.

​
Demand and pricing

Enterprise software codebases and cybersecurity, legal, and finance data. See What buyers want now.
By rights, demand, documentation, how hard the asset is to recreate, and fit to a buyer’s need. Recent price ranges are on How value is judged.
You only see the opportunities your organization can currently access. Some require a certain tier, a tighter fit, or completed paperwork; others are matched manually rather than shown to every vendor. If you expected to see a specific opportunity, ask DataVendor to check whether it should be visible to you. Opportunities are time-bound and often arrive in batches around model-training runs, so some may have closed before you check.

​
Earnings

Once they settle, 14 days after payment, and after Stripe Connect onboarding. See Get paid.
Converting to credits is 1:1, instant, and fee-free, and credits pay for credit-priced platform actions like recommended environment checks, but the conversion is irreversible. Withdrawing sends real money to your bank at the cost of the 20% platform fee plus an estimated Stripe transfer fee, both itemized on the quote.
