I connect established businesses with vetted AI data partnership programs — companies that pay for anonymized access to how your business actually runs, to help train the next generation of AI systems.
Size, industry, and what systems you run — CRM, code repositories, finance tools, documented processes, or none of the above. That's what determines fit, not a sales pitch.
Different partners look for different things. I'll tell you honestly which one fits, if any — and won't refer you somewhere that doesn't.
I'm the introduction, not the counterparty. The partnering company handles vetting, the agreement, and security review directly with you.
Compensation is set by the partnering company and scales with what you share. I'll never quote you a number I can't back up.
I work with a small number of vetted AI data partnership programs. Each has its own criteria, but in general, they're looking for:
Businesses running modern software — not necessarily huge, just real.
Companies where the way work gets done is actually written down and repeatable.
I'll tell you exactly which specific program fits your business once we talk — I don't publish those names here so that our conversation stays the way you find out, not a search engine.
Handing over operational data is a real decision, and you should do your own diligence before agreeing to anything. I'll always tell you what I know — including anything about a partner's history you'd want to know — before you commit. My job is the introduction, not the sales pitch. If a program isn't a good fit for you, I'll say so.
If your business holds customer or client data — CRM records, contact details, account history — that information is anonymized before any evaluation happens. What gets reviewed is how your business operates, not who your customers are.
I'm Zay Patrick, an Army veteran and founder based in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. I previously built Zelly, an ecommerce brand. Today I split my time between founding new ventures and this, advising businesses on AI data partnerships. The programs I work with handle vetting, agreements, and payment directly with you.
Tell me a bit about your company and what systems you run. I'll tell you honestly whether it's worth pursuing, and with which program — no pressure either way.

I'll look over what you shared and follow up personally within a couple of days, whether or not it ends up being a fit.
