Warm Introduction Template
---START TEMPLATE---
Subject: An Opportunity for Your Data Assets
Hi [Business Owner's Name],
Hope you're having a productive week. Based on our conversations and my understanding of [Company Name]'s strengths, I wanted to introduce you to an interesting opportunity related to your data assets.
I’ve been learning about SourceX, which operates as the enterprise data transaction layer for AI. They specialize in managing data licensing from sourcing and rights review to delivery and payment. Essentially, they help companies like yours license their valuable data for use by AI labs and data buyers, without you needing to navigate the complex landscape alone.
Why I Thought of You
SourceX is currently focused on US companies that meet a specific profile, which I believe aligns well with [Company Name]:
- Established Operations: Companies with a strong operating history and data records.
- Size: Typically, those with 50 or more full-time employees at their peak (contractors are not included).
- Data Rights: Companies that possess clear rights to license their unique data.
- Sponsorship: An authorized sponsor within the company willing to explore this opportunity.
Your Control and Benefits
Should you choose to engage with SourceX, you maintain complete control over the scope and approval of any potential data licensing. SourceX manages the transaction process, ensuring your data remains secure and is never handled by a partner like me. Their focus is solely on facilitating the licensing agreement and ensuring you receive the appropriate compensation for your assets.
My Role and Transparency
I want to be fully transparent about my involvement. As a partner in SourceX's referral program, if your company successfully licenses its data through SourceX and they collect their fees, I would earn a referral reward. This reward is 25% of the eligible platform fees SourceX collects, up to a cumulative maximum of $100,000 per referred company.
This reward is paid by SourceX from their fees and is never deducted from what your company receives for its data licensing. My motivation in connecting you is genuinely to explore a mutually beneficial opportunity where your company can unlock new value from its data.
Would you be open to a brief conversation where I can share more about SourceX and how they might benefit [Company Name]? I can also facilitate an introduction if you're interested.
Best regards,
[Your Name]

Key Considerations for Introducers
- Personalize: Always adapt the template with specifics about the business owner and their company.
- Focus on Value: Emphasize how SourceX can help the business owner unlock value from their data assets.
- Manage Expectations: Clearly state the company baseline upfront to ensure a good fit.
- Be Transparent: Openly disclose your role as a referrer and the potential for a reward, stressing it comes from SourceX's fees, not the company's proceeds.
- Facilitate, Don't Push: Your role is to make a warm introduction and provide information, not to pressure the business owner.
