Data Specialists: who they are and what they do

It targets operating companies of 30 to 200 people and closed companies that had 50 or more before closing, across ten countries including the US, UK and Canada.

The site shows $100K to $2M+ only on its closed-company page, marked as not guaranteed. Its apply page shows partner counts and revenue figures that match micro1's own partnership page without saying so.

There are none of its own. You would sign micro1's contract. Read our micro1 review for those terms.

Data Specialists earns micro1's referral fee when a company it sends completes a deal: by default 7.5% of the license price under micro1's terms.

Its Meta ads started in October 2026. They ask owners to check their company data's value, pitch closed businesses on a data payday, and quote $100K to $2M+.

If micro1 fits your company, you can apply to micro1 directly or through a referrer that discloses who it is. There is no advantage to going through a site that names no one.

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.
