Troveo: what owners are paid through this broker

Short answer

Troveo is a licensing agent: it anonymizes a company's data exports and licenses them to AI labs and other buyers on the company's behalf, and the company shares in the revenue on every sale. Troveo says full-company deals start at six figures and that it has paid $20M+ to licensors, a total that covers video, audio, gaming, robotics and business data together. It charges no upfront fee, but its revenue share percentage and payment timing are not published.

  2. Agree: sign standard terms covering the license and your earnings.
  3. Package: your team exports the data with Troveo's guidance, with no system connections, and Troveo anonymizes it to its documented standard and writes a manifest.
  4. Get paid: Troveo brings the dataset to buyers, and you share in the revenue on each sale.
