Anonymized Data Monetization: Earning From Data Without Exposing Customers
By Andrew Smart, founder of MON$TER · About
Most businesses generate exhaust data — transactions, schedules, inventory movement, service logs — as a side effect of operating. Stripped of personal identifiers, it's exactly the real-world signal AI and institutional buyers pay for.
- Strip names, contacts, and any direct identifiers.
- Aggregate where individual rows could re-identify someone.
- License non-exclusively so the same clean dataset can serve multiple buyers.
