For your existing records, start with category fit: Handshake AI lists AutoCAD, Figma, Gmail, Drive, NetSuite, Notion, QuickBooks, ServiceTitan and Slack; SimpleClosure AssetHub lists Startup workspace/code assets: Slack, email, Drive, Notion, Figma and project context. Ask each which subset has active demand before preparing exports.
Handshake AI: No numerical end-to-end payout timeline verified. SimpleClosure AssetHub: Assessment often hours/days; not a payment deadline. These clocks measure different stages, not equivalent payout deadlines; ask for a written acceptance-to-payment interval.
Both routes need lawful rights to the material. Removing names does not remove confidentiality obligations or re-identification risk. Require sample approval, buyer-use restrictions, precise payment triggers and downstream retention/deletion terms.
Handshake AI: No independently audited operating-business payout established in this research. Provider cases and partnership confirmations do not establish a typical seller outcome.
