For buyers

Buy business data from sellers Korra has checked.

Korra verifies every seller and every partner, reads every listing before it shows, and passes every question, answer and offer by hand. You read a de-identified card, make a sealed offer, and sign with the seller. Book a call and we walk you through the shelf.

What Korra checks before a card shows.

Four checks, in the order a card passes them. Every one is made before you can read the card.

The seller

Every seller is a named person at a named business.

  • A company email on the company’s own domain, confirmed by a code sent to that inbox. Free-mail addresses are refused.
  • The business name and the person’s role, on file before the first card.
  • The seller terms, signed before any card goes live.
  • A stated right to license the data, in the seller’s own words, on every listing.

The partner

Brokers and referral partners are checked the same way.

  • Partners sign the partner terms before they introduce anyone.
  • A partner can start a listing for a client, but only the seller can claim it, from the company’s own inbox.
  • The seller confirms the introduction. A partner turned down three times is paused.
  • The seller can hide its offers from the partner, or remove the partner, at any time.

The listing

Korra reads every listing before it is published.

  • What the data is, the years it covers, the size band, the uses allowed and the limits.
  • The rights statement, read against the description. A listing that does not add up is sent back or declined.
  • Every buyer question and every seller answer passes through Korra and is read before release.
  • A changed listing is a new version. Korra reads it again before it replaces the old one.

The card

Nobody is identifiable on the card you read.

  • Company names, people, emails, domains, phone numbers and towns come out of the card, in code and by hand.
  • A card that still carries one is refused until it is fixed.
  • The size shows as a band, not an exact count, so a one-of-a-kind figure cannot name the seller.
  • Removing names does not make data anonymous, so every card is confidential under the network agreement.

What “clean” means here.

Clean means four things, all checked before you see a card: a seller Korra can name and reach, a stated right to license, a listing Korra has read, and a card with nobody identifiable in it.

It does not mean Korra has opened the data. The data stays in the seller’s systems until you sign. You can ask for a sample through Korra, the seller sends it, and you judge the data before you sign.

Before you sign

  • Ask the seller anything through Korra
  • Ask for a de-identified sample
  • Fourteen days in talks, names and emails open
  • Template paper you can use or replace

What a card tells you.

A card is a short description of one coherent set of data. It is written by the seller, de-identified by Korra, and approved by both before it shows.

Once Korra has approved your account, the full listing opens: the contents, the systems the data comes from, the limits, whether exclusive terms are offered, and an example of the structure.

On every card

  • The data type and the industry
  • The years the data covers
  • A size band
  • The uses the seller allows
  • The ask, if the seller set one
  • The number of offers and the status
  • The highest offer, once three buyers have bid

How buying works.

Six steps. Korra is in the first three; the last three are between you and the seller, with Korra's paper if you want it.

  1. 1

    Book a call

    Tell us what you buy data for and what you have bought before. Korra opens your account by hand. Company accounts only.

  2. 2

    Agree to the network

    You sign the buyer network agreement in your portal before you read a full listing or make an offer. It says any licence that starts from a Korra introduction owes Korra its fee.

  3. 3

    Read the shelf

    Browse the cards. Open a listing. Ask the seller questions through Korra; Korra reads each answer before you see it. Ask for a sample if you want one.

  4. 4

    Make a sealed offer

    Your offer is seen by you and the seller only. You set the amount, the use, the term, the delivery you want and how long the offer stands. Korra’s fee is shown to you before you bid.

  5. 5

    In talks

    When the seller accepts, you learn each other’s names and talk in the portal. You have 14 days to sign between you, or the card reopens.

  6. 6

    Sign and close

    The licence is between you and the seller. Use Korra’s template paper or your own. Both of you report the price; Korra invoices its fee, net 30.

What you pay.

Two amounts. The seller’s price, paid to the seller under your licence. And Korra’s fee, on top of that price, shown to you before you bid. The seller never pays the fee and never sees it.

Korra holds no money. You pay the seller directly, on the terms you agree between you. Korra invoices you its fee after the deal closes.

Also in the agreement

  • The fee is owed on any licence that starts from a Korra introduction
  • It is still owed if you license the same seller’s data off the shelf within 12 months
  • You report the closing price within 7 days of signing
  • Your right to use the data is conditional on the fee

Where Korra stops.

Korra is not a party to your licence. Korra does not deliver the data; the seller does, in the way you agree between you. Korra does not hold your money or the seller’s.

What you read on the shelf and in the portal is confidential. Use it only to decide whether to make an offer, and do not try to identify a seller from a card.

Paper Korra hands you

  • The buyer network agreement
  • A template licence
  • A delivery checklist
  • A payment terms line

Template paper, offered and never imposed. Have your own adviser read it.

The buyer network agreement

What you agree to when Korra opens your account. Short, in plain words, and public.

Questions buyers ask.

Anything else: info@korra.io.

Who can buy on Korra?

Companies, on a company email address, approved by Korra by hand. You tell us what you buy data for and what you have bought before. Korra may refuse or remove an account.

Can I see who the seller is?

Not until the seller accepts your offer. Until then you read a de-identified card and ask questions through Korra. When the seller accepts, both names and emails open in the portal.

Can I see the data before I make an offer?

You can ask for a sample through the question channel. The seller sends it, de-identified by the seller. Korra marks that a sample was sent; it does not pass through Korra.

Do other buyers see my offer?

No. Offers are sealed: you see your own, the seller sees all of them as Buyer A, B and C. Once three buyers have bid on a card, the highest amount shows on the card, without names.

What does Korra check?

The seller (company domain, business, role, signed terms, a stated right to license), the partner who introduced them, the listing itself, and the card. Korra also reads every answer before it is released to you.

What does Korra not do?

Korra does not open, clean or deliver the data, does not hold money, and is not a party to your licence. The seller and you do the rest between you, with Korra’s template paper if you want it.

What do I pay Korra?

A fee on top of the price you agree with the seller, shown to you before you bid. Korra invoices it after the deal closes, net 30. The seller pays nothing.

Can I license data exclusively?

The card says whether the seller offers exclusive terms, non-exclusive terms, or both. You say which you want in your offer.

How long does it take?

A card takes offers during a 14-day window. After the seller accepts, you have 14 days in talks to sign. The sample, the paper and the delivery are between you and the seller, so the speed is mostly yours.
