If I want to sell access to a database of information - what's the best platform to use?

I have pubicly available data on investors globally that I've scraped and painstakingly put together to help startups and institutions raise funds. It's a niche 'group' segment in the fundraising industry but well over 1500 with full details.

What's the best platform or management solution to sell access?

Best,

    "Scraped and painstakingly put together" is the part that stands out. 1500+ investor records with full details is real assembly work, and then the question becomes the one you asked: what's the best platform or management solution to sell access?

    I've been interviewing dataset owners about exactly these decisions, how they think about selling access and licensing what they've built. Not selling anything. Would you be open to a short call to talk through it?

    Hi there,

    I'd suggest to check out our platform Softr.io. Here's a guide for your exact use case: https://www.softr.io/how-to/create-membership-website

    I'd say Webflow & Memberstack for a more professional site

    Or for something quick, gumroad + Airtable

    Can't say if it's the best, but the method I see the most is to store the information in Airtable or Notion and process the link through Gumroad.

    Those who purchase through Gumroad get the link emailed to them.

    A benefit of this approach is that you can easily update the information in Airtable or Notion.
