How investors & consultancies can monetize their operational data

Halluminate.ai, an Orange Collective portfolio company, wants to license the internal operational data of financial institutions, consulting firms, or similar knowledge work institutions, e.g., old deal rooms, client projects, etc. They will pay you up to 6 or 7 digits.

Halluminate works with Anthropic, OpenAI, and other leading AI labs to build RL (Reinforcement Learning) training environments that teach AI models how to do work in financial services, consulting, and general knowledge work.

They also will discuss partnering in a forward deployed project capacity for custom advisory or product implementation, and as part of that tradeoff getting access to real world environments and workflow understanding

Any data you license will be fully anonymized and legally cleared before use. To learn more, contact us.
