Nyne: what it buys from businesses, and how to check it

It asks for 20+ full-time US W-2 employees and 3+ years in business. It is a seed-funded San Francisco startup that also registers as a data broker.1,2,3,4,5
Its ads promise 30-day deletion and no sale to competitors; its site sets retention per engagement.6,7

What it buys
The records Nyne asks for
Its sell page names QuickBooks, Xero, NetSuite, Salesforce, HubSpot, Asana and Jira, plus dispatch and scheduling data. Its partnerships page goes further: full Slack, Teams and Google Chat histories, email, calendar and documents, and Workday, ServiceNow, SAP and Zendesk. It says partner companies are never identified to buyers and payment follows delivery and acceptance.1,9,10
Its ads
How Nyne's ads work
Nyne runs a vertical template on Facebook: "Your Old Dispatch Data Could Be Worth Six Figures", then the same line for real estate deal files, media plans, Figma files and manufacturing records. The ads open a Facebook form. Their trust bullets promise the price is agreed before transfer, client names swapped for codes, any folder excluded, never sold to competitors, and raw files deleted within 30 days.11,6
A second page, "Nyne AI", runs plainer ads that point to nyne.ai: "We buy business archives" and "Get a quote before anything gets wiped". It names businesses with 10 or more employees, half the floor on Nyne's site.8,3
Ads vs site
Where the ads promise more than the site
The site is narrower than the ad bullets. It says names, identifiers and customer details are removed and that you can exclude whole categories, but it sets retention and deletion per engagement rather than promising 30 days. Get the ad promises written into your agreement.7,6
The beat-an-offer promise has conditions: Nyne compares net contracted cash for the same data and rights, promises no fixed uplift, and does not count calculator estimates or "up to" figures from other buyers.12,13
The company
Who runs Nyne
Its customer contract names Nyne.ai Corp., a Delaware corporation at 380 Brannan St, San Francisco; the site footer says Nyne AI Inc. TechCrunch reported a $5.3 million seed round led by Wischoff Ventures and South Park Commons, and named CEO Michael Fanous and his father Emad Fanous as founders. Nyne says it is registered as a data broker in California, Texas and Vermont, part of a separate people-data business.5,4
Nyne pays introducers up to $20,000 per company with 20+ US full-time staff that completes a deal.14

FAQ
Questions, answered with sources
The Nyne AI page's ads send people to nyne.ai, so they point to the same company, but they use a lower 10+ employee floor.8
