Lead Generation Agencies: Become a SourceX Data Referral Partner

Lead generation agencies can expand their services by referring US companies with extensive data assets to SourceX for licensing opportunities. Partners facilitate an introduction and earn a share of the fees SourceX collects, without handling any data or managing the deal.

As a lead generation agency, you're constantly seeking new avenues to deliver value and diversify your revenue. SourceX offers a unique opportunity to leverage your existing network by becoming a data referral partner, connecting companies with valuable data to AI labs and data buyers.

What SourceX Does

SourceX is the enterprise data transaction layer for AI. We manage the entire data licensing process, from sourcing and rights review to delivery and payment. Think of us as the operational backbone for data licensing, enabling companies to commercialize their data assets efficiently and compliantly. We don't train AI models; our focus is purely on facilitating secure and effective data licensing transactions.

Why Partner with SourceX?

This partnership allows your agency to open a new revenue stream by introducing SourceX to suitable companies in your network. You're not delivering leads in the traditional sense; rather, you're facilitating an initial introduction that could lead to significant data licensing deals for your referred companies.

Your Role: Facilitating an Introduction, Not Lead Delivery

Your primary role is to make a qualified introduction. This means connecting SourceX with an authorized sponsor at a potential company. SourceX attributes credit to the first valid referrer whose introduction leads to a verified company application within the attribution window. Rewards become payable only after the buyer pays and SourceX receives its fee; a lead, meeting, or signed agreement alone does not trigger payment.

The Ideal Company Profile

To ensure successful referrals, focus on introducing US companies that meet the following criteria:

  • Size: 50+ full-time employees at peak (contractors excluded).
  • History: Years of operating records.
  • Rights: Possess the clear rights to license the data they hold.
  • Sponsor: Have an authorized sponsor within the company to champion the initiative.

Remember, your referred companies are data providers. SourceX helps them license their data for various applications, primarily for AI training, without them needing to become experts in data commercialization.

How Rewards Work

As a referral partner, you can earn a share of the fees SourceX collects. Specifically, partners earn 25% of the eligible platform fees SourceX actually collects from the referred company's licensing deals. These rewards are capped at $100,000 cumulative per referred company. It's important to note that the partner reward is a share of SourceX's fee and is never deducted from what the company receives for its data.

Illustrative Example (Hypothetical Values):

Let's say a referred company enters a licensing deal through SourceX. If SourceX collects $10,000 in fees from that deal, a partner could hypothetically earn 25% of that amount. This continues across multiple deals or payments until the $100,000 is reached for that specific company.

What You Don't Do

It's crucial to understand the boundaries of your role:

  • No Data Handling: Partners never handle any company data. SourceX manages all aspects of data security, compliance, and delivery.
  • No Deal Negotiation: Your involvement ends with the introduction. SourceX handles all deal structuring, negotiation, and contracting with the referred company and data buyers.
  • No Upfront Payment: Rewards are performance-based, paid only after SourceX collects its fees from successful licensing deals.

Getting Started

Anyone can join the SourceX referral program from any supported country. However, licensed professionals should always check their own rules regarding referral fees. This is an excellent opportunity to diversify your agency's offerings and generate additional revenue by simply making the right connections.
