Introduce one company that needs engineers. Earn $15,000.

We pay 10% of everything a referred client pays us, every month, for twelve months. On our typical $12,500 retainer that is $15,000 from one introduction.

What one referral pays you

$12,500
$5K $15K
Your share of what they pay $1,250
Over twelve months $15,000

As a client, that same referral takes $3,125 off your own monthly bill instead. Paid monthly against invoices the client actually pays. Nothing is owed on a deal that never funds.

Months of commission per referral

You are paid on money we actually collect

Commission runs monthly against the invoices a referred client pays, never against a contract they merely signed. A deal that stalls owes you nothing. A deal that funds keeps paying you for a full year, and you can ask for the running total any time you want it.

Your referral gets something before they spend anything

Every company you send starts with a proof of concept, and we waive the $1,000 fee because you sent them. Seven days later they have working code they own.

The engagements are big enough to matter

Our retainers run $10,000 to $12,500 a month. Ten percent of a year of that is real money for one introduction made in a single email.

Three steps, and you only do the first one

01

You introduce

Send a name and one sentence about what is stuck. No deck to learn, no discovery call on your calendar. We tell you inside a week whether it is a fit.

02

They see it work

We build a working piece of their product in seven days and waive the fee. If it misses what we agreed up front, they owe nothing and keep the code.

03

You get paid

Ten percent of every invoice they pay, every month, for twelve months. ACH within 30 days of the money reaching us.

TWO WAYS IN

Cash if you are outside. Credit if you are already with us.

Same economics underneath. The difference is where the money lands and how much paperwork it drags behind it.

Partners

You do not work with us yet. Consultants, fractional CTOs, agencies with overflow, investors with portfolio companies that need engineers.

10% of collected revenue, 12 months

$12,000 to $15,000 on a typical retainer

Cash by ACH, monthly

  • Paid against invoices the client pays, not contracts they sign
  • Twelve months from their first invoice, no cap on how many you send
  • Referral agreement and W-9 before your first payout
  • We issue a 1099-NEC above $600 in a year

Ambassadors

You are already a client. This version keeps the money in your own account instead of routing it through your tax return.

25% of your retainer, per active referral

Four active referrals and you pay nothing

Credit on your next invoice

  • 25% off your monthly retainer for each referred client actively paying us
  • It stacks to 100%, so the fourth one makes your retainer free
  • If a referred client pauses, your credit adjusts and comes back when they do
  • No agreement, no W-9, no tax form. It is a discount, not income.

Know someone already?

Applications take about five minutes. Referring, once you are in, takes one email.

The introductions that actually close

We close roughly a third of the deals we take. These six traits separate the third that closes from the rest.

They have an AI or LLM product already in market

Something shipped that needs a team to run and extend it, not a deck looking for a builder.

Engineering is the bottleneck, not the idea

They know exactly what to build. They cannot hire fast enough to build it.

They already spend $10,000 a month on software

Usually on contractors or headcount that has not worked out. The budget exists and is going somewhere disappointing.

They expect to own what gets built

Full code ownership, no vendor lock-in, no licensing bill on their own product later.

A real operator is on the other side

A founder, CTO, or ops lead who can decide without assembling a committee first.

They have been burned before

Almost always by an offshore shop or a hire that did not take. The proof of concept exists for exactly this person.

Questions people ask before they send the first name

What do I actually earn on one referral?
Ten percent of everything that client pays us in their first twelve months. Our retainers run $10,000 to $12,500 a month, so a client who stays the year is worth $12,000 to $15,000 to you. Shorter engagements pay proportionally less, because the percentage runs against real invoices rather than a projection.
When does the money arrive?
Monthly, by ACH, within 30 days of the client's payment clearing on our side. We pay on collection rather than on signature, which means you are never waiting on a contract that has not funded and we are never clawing money back.
What happens if the client leaves in month three?
You keep everything paid through month three and the commission stops. There is no clawback on months already collected. This is the main reason we pay on collection: nobody ends up owing anybody.
I am already a client. Which track am I on?
Ambassador, and it is the better deal for you. Twenty-five percent comes off your own monthly retainer for each referred client actively paying us, stacking to 100%. Four active referrals and your retainer is zero. No agreement to sign and no tax form, because a discount on your own invoice is not income.
What counts as my referral?
An introduction to a company we are not already in conversation with. We use last-touch attribution, so if two people introduce the same company the one closest to the close is credited. Introductions stay live for twelve months, after which the name goes back in the pool.
Do I have to sell anything?
No. Send a name and a sentence and you are done. If you want to sit in on the first call because you know the person well, you are welcome to, and it usually helps. It is not required and it does not change what you are paid.
Is there a limit on how many I can send?
No cap on partners. Ambassadors cap at 100% of their own retainer, which is four active referrals. Send a fifth and we will find another way to make it worth your while, because at that point you are doing real work for us.
What does the company I refer actually get?
A free proof of concept, which is $1,000 for everyone else. Seven days, real deployed code, full ownership. If it misses what we agreed up front we refund it and they keep the code. Referred clients get the same terms and the same team as everyone else.

Program disclosure

Nexrizen pays referral partners a commission on revenue collected from clients they introduce, and offers existing clients an equivalent credit against their own invoices. Commission is paid only on amounts a referred client has actually paid, and stops when payments stop. Earnings depend entirely on whether the companies you introduce become clients, and are not guaranteed. Partners are independent contractors, not employees or agents of Nexrizen, and cannot quote prices, make commitments, or represent Nexrizen in negotiations. Referred clients receive identical pricing, terms, and delivery standards regardless of who introduced them, and no part of the commission is added to their cost. Full terms are set out in the referral agreement provided on approval.
