About SourceX

SourceX, based in Los Angeles, licenses business data directly from companies and pays them for it, then supplies licensed datasets to AI developers. Companies sign with SourceX, not with the lab that uses the data, and each deal is set out in a Dataset Deal Confirmation covering the dataset, the fee and the license term.
