What to know about micro1

micro1 says it licenses data only to labs and enterprises based in the U.S. and allied countries, and keeps each company's data segregated from other companies' data. It also buys AI agent trajectories, which it says qualify for $1–2M annually. (micro1, data partnerships, 2026-10-26)
A data broker, Ryan Lock, said on the NGMI podcast in October 2026 that micro1 pays $50K–$75K referral fees. micro1's referral page now publishes $50K for enterprise partnerships and $75K for defunct companies, so his figure matches the published terms. (NGMI podcast, interview with Ryan Lock, 2026-10-16)

Who it fits

US companies with 30 or more staff, mature documentation and English-language records spread across several teams.

What to watch for

aitrainer.work (Jun 29, 2026) reported the tiers as yearly amounts. micro1's own partnership page gives them with no period attached.
micro1's company-referral page lists $100K–$2M+ for approved data packages, a wider range than the partnership tiers (micro1, Oct 26, 2026).
A referral bonus is not earned when a company registers or signs. The data must be transferred and approved first, and only referrals made through the registered link are credited (micro1, Oct 26, 2026).
