micro1 and Mode: how the two programmes differ

Built for companies from 30 staff — SMEs first. micro1's Enterprise screening includes 2+ years in business and 70%+ English data. Its published conditions cover all industries and require a work email. Criteria are micro1's and can change.

A multi-office business is one preparation example, not the only kind of company to consider. Before applying, identify who can authorise licensing and which records the company actually controls. A fit-check result is screening guidance, not acceptance or an offer.

For a company that is no longer operating, micro1 lists Defunct Company Data Partnership (closed companies). Its published floor is 30+ staff at peak, with substantial microsoft teams or slack data and English records. Operating-company conditions should not simply be carried over to this separate track.

Officeholders should use the closed-company guide to check authority and keep records reachable while deciding. Personal data in insolvency estates needs its own lawful basis; your officeholder and the buyer decide.

micro1's listed markets are United States, United Kingdom, Canada, India, Australia, Singapore, Ireland, Netherlands, Germany, France. A listed market is not a promise that any particular company will be accepted.

Mode's listed company-programme markets are United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Australia. Do not treat micro1's wider list as permission to apply the same geographical scope to Mode.

Mode publishes its own staff minimums and ranges on its site. This comparison does not reproduce Mode staff bands or offer ranges. Check its current programme pages before deciding whether a warm introduction is appropriate.

Mode introductions here are warm only. Start with an existing relationship and permission to make the introduction; this page is not an outreach service. Read the separate Mode programme guide for its dated source material, rather than assuming both buyers use the same intake process.

micro1 lists $100K–$3M+: micro1's published range — indicative, not an offer. Its tiers describe different kinds of operational datasets and participation, not a calculation this site can apply to your company.

Only the partner can value your records, in writing. Ranges are indicative, not offers. Neither the number of staff nor a positive fit result establishes the amount, contract terms or outcome of an application.

The micro1 programme registry identifies micro1 Inc.; Mode's registry identifies Mode Mobile, LLC (d/b/a mode.inc). Neither registry supplies a signed company licensing agreement. Keep public programme information separate from the agreement the buyer asks your company to sign.

Ask the buyer to put licence scope, exclusivity, permitted uses, confidentiality, termination and responsibility for personal data in writing. Do not infer one programme's contractual terms from the other programme's source guide. Take your own advice before signing.

Mode's recorded public terms describe excluded categories: health information, payment card or financial account data, children's information, biometrics, audio or video recordings of individuals, images of individuals, other regulated data. They also describe encrypted, access-restricted raw uploads and a de-identified sample before customer release. These are source descriptions, not a guarantee about an individual dataset.

Mode's registry says a written offer and signed agreement are required, with secure upload only after signing and rights notices and consents addressed. Its cross-border scope must be confirmed. Those recorded safeguards must not be presented as micro1's contractual commitments.

Use the browser-only fit check to organise the screening questions, then apply directly with micro1 if appropriate. For a closed company, follow the officeholder guide and the direct micro1 application link; there is no local closed-company application intake.

If Mode remains relevant, read its programme guide and use a warm introduction only. Nordic MarTech is an independent referrer: we do not hold, move, clean, value or sell your records. A consultation can clarify the questions to ask, but it cannot replace the buyer's review or your own legal advice.
