Most Partnership Programs Suck. Ours Pays $200–$1K/hr.
Typical referral programs dump the work on you: generate leads, chase prospects, handle objections. We built the opposite — we take care of lead gen, parts of the closing, and follow-up. You make introductions. We do the rest.
Small energy investment. Asymmetric returns. Most of our partners earn $200–$1,000 per hour of their time simply for referring us to founders they already know.

It's a Flywheel
The more you refer, the more campaigns we run for you. The more leads you get, the more you can refer.
