VMS: data licensing ads from an M&A advertising agency

Independent and sourced. We feature companies that pay us a referral fee. Our scores and reviews don't change for it. How we earn

VMS ads ask "What is your company data worth?", name Anthropic, OpenAI and Google, and say deals have closed from $200K to $2M. VMS is the data licensing page of Venture Media Solutions, a Dallas agency that builds paid advertising for business brokers and acquirers. It says it does not buy data and is paid by a data partner it does not name.1,2,3

The labs

The ads name labs; the site does not

None of its data licensing pages names an AI lab. Its FAQ says your agreement is with the data partner, and that the agreement names who receives your data before you sign. An ad that names Anthropic, OpenAI and Google is not evidence that any of them buys through VMS.4,1

Its figures

Payouts, speed and size

Its data page says $100K to $2M, its manufacturing page $200K to $2M. Example cards show a $1.6M Midwest freight brokerage paid out in 72 hours, while its FAQ says money typically arrives in 3 to 6 weeks. It asks for a team of more than twenty and at least two years in business.5

Those pages share their wording and example cards with Cognor Labs, another referral partner paid by an unnamed data partner.6,7

Before you reply

What to ask VMS

Ask for the data partner's name before the first call ends, and whether that partner has a contract with any of the labs in the ad. Ask what VMS is paid per introduction, and which privacy policy covers the details you give it, since its published one covers only its advertising work.3,2
