micro1 partners with organizations to help improve AI systems using real-world business workflows and operational knowledge. Participating companies receive compensation based on the value of the data provided and may also benefit from improvements tied to the specific use cases they contribute. Data is used to evaluate and improve AI capabilities in realistic enterprise environments.

We are looking for operationally mature companies with established workflows, documentation, and internal processes. In general, companies should have at least 30 employees and maintain meaningful business operations that generate valuable operational knowledge and workflow data. The program is open to a wide range of industries, including technology, consulting, financial services, operations, healthcare administration, recruiting, legal, and other knowledge-based sectors. Companies with larger teams, well-defined processes, and substantial internal documentation are typically the strongest fit for the program.

We are looking for data that reflects how work is actually performed within an organization. This may include standard operating procedures (SOPs), process documentation, internal knowledge bases, workflows, templates, operational frameworks, and other business process artifacts. The most valuable datasets capture real operational expertise, decision-making processes, and repeatable workflows that help AI systems learn how work is executed in real-world business environments.

Protecting customer data is a core principle of the program. Personally identifiable information (PII) is removed when relevant, access is restricted to a limited number of authorized team members, and customer data is processed through isolated pipelines that prevent it from being commingled with other engagements. Data is retained only for agreed periods, companies have the opportunity to review representative samples before use, and deletion requests are honored according to the terms of the engagement. In addition, employees with access to data systems use company-managed devices and follow established security controls and training requirements.

Companies retain ownership of their underlying data.

After data is shared, it is processed according to the agreed use case and handling requirements. Depending on the nature of the data, personally identifiable information may be removed and certain datasets may undergo synthetic rewrites that preserve workflow structure while reducing direct ties to original records. Data is retained only for a limited period based on agreed retention policies, and companies are given the opportunity to review representative samples before prepared data is used. Upon request or at the end of an engagement, data is deleted according to the agreed retention and deletion terms.

Compensation is determined based on the characteristics and value of the data being contributed. Factors considered include dataset size and volume, workflow complexity, data quality, domain expertise represented, and the uniqueness of the operational knowledge contained within the dataset. Each partnership is evaluated individually, and compensation is aligned with the overall value and relevance of the data provided.

Individuals and organizations who introduce qualified companies to the program may be eligible for referral rewards. To ensure proper attribution, referrals must be submitted through the official referral process. Referral rewards are tied to successful company placements and are paid once the referred company reaches specific revenue milestones with micro1. Reward amounts vary by opportunity and program tier, with eligible referrals tracked through the referral platform from application through qualification, signing, activation, and payout.

After a referral is submitted, the micro1 team reviews the company and guides them through an initial AI interview. The interview helps assess whether the company and its data are a good fit for the program. Companies that meet the qualification criteria then move forward to partnership discussions, agreement finalization, and onboarding. Once onboarding is complete, the company can begin participating in the program.

Yes. While the program accepts referrals globally, current demand is strongest for companies based in the United States, United Kingdom, and Canada. Companies from other regions may still be considered, but selection will depend on the specific needs of active opportunities and customer demand at the time.

At this time, we are primarily looking for companies that operate in English and maintain their documentation, workflows, and knowledge bases in English. Company representatives must also be able to communicate with the micro1 team in English throughout the partnership and onboarding process.
