How to apply to Mercor
Mercor connects to a company's work tools, automatically extracts and de-identifies the workflow data, licenses it to AI labs, and pays the company. You apply on Mercor's own site. Below: who qualifies, what to prepare, and how its process works, from its own pages as of 2026-10-25.
Before you apply
- Check you meet Mercor's published rules: no minimum published; accepts operating companies.
- List your systems, years of history and who can export each one. The data inventory worksheet helps.
- Confirm the records are yours to license and note what must stay out (HR, legal, customer data held under contract, regulated data).
- Decide in advance whether you would accept an exclusive license, and for how long.

How it pays
upfront: paid by wire once the anonymized dataset is delivered; amount depends on data volume, tools connected and data depth. Payment timing: Wire on delivery of the anonymized dataset to the buyer, which Mercor says typically happens 2-4 weeks after the agreement is signed.
Questions to ask before you sign
- Who signs the agreement with us, and in which state is that company registered?
- When exactly are we paid, and what has to happen first?
- Is the license exclusive? For how long, and for which uses?
- Who de-identifies the records, where, and can we review a sample of the result?
- What happens to the copy when the license ends?
