How dGrants works?

A streamlined solution customized to your needs.

1

You propose your data-generating activity

We evaluate together how long it will take, what are your funding needs, how much of the project you want to be open-source after the activity is realized.

2

We help you find the right funders

We conduct a campaign to get the funding and find data Angels for your activity. The dataset ownership will be shared between you and your data Angels.

3

We treat, protect and publish your data

We protect your data so you still own it, and publish a part of it in open-source to advertise and benefit the ecosystem.

4

You generate extra-revenue

We promote your dataset and you get extra-revenue for each purchase. dataAngels earn royalties for a duration of 24 months.
