💸 REFERRAL PROGRAM

Referral program — refer a founder,
get paid.

Know someone who needs an MVP, product build, or brand? Send them our way and earn when they sign.

ONE-TIME PROJECT

Finder's Fee

10%

of the project's total cost

Refer a founder who signs a development or branding project and we pay you 10% of the full project value — paid once the project kicks off.

Example payout

$4k project → you earn $400

$10k project → you earn $1,000

$20k project → you earn $2,000

MONTHLY RETAINER

Recurring Cut

5–10%

of monthly fee for 6 months

Refer a client onto one of our monthly retainers and earn a percentage of every payment they make for the first 6 months. Passive income, no cap.

Example payout

$4k/mo retainer @ 10% → $2,400 over 6 mo

How it works

Three steps. Zero friction.

1

Make the intro

Tell your contact about Kumquat. Drop us an email with their name and contact info so we know you sent them.

2

They sign a project

We do our thing — discovery call, proposal, sign-off. When they officially start, your referral is locked in.

3

You get paid

We send you your cut via bank transfer, PayPal, or crypto — whatever works for you. Simple as that.

The fine print (it's short, we promise)

Referral must be registered with us before the client's first call.
Payout for one-time projects is triggered when the 40% kickoff payment is received.
Recurring retainer payouts are made monthly for up to 6 months.
No cap on the number of referrals you can make.
Works for any of our packages — dev, brand, retainer, or bundle.
You don't need to be a Kumquat client to refer someone.
