How it works

Three steps. One handshake.

01

You send an intro

A two-line email. We take it from there — no follow-ups, no chasing.

02

Founder books $99 assessment

90 minutes with Ro. Walk away with a roadmap whether they engage or not.

03

We close → you earn $1,800+

Paid via Stripe within 7 days of the engagement closing. No clawback.

Who should refer

Built for the people founders already trust.

Seed-stage VCs

Your portfolio founders keep hitting the technical-cofounder wall.

Accelerators

Cohort companies need a CTO before Series A.

Marketing & growth agencies

Your clients need the product built, not just the funnel.

Platform partners

Your users need technical leadership we provide.

The Math

$99 assessment → $15K–$50K engagement → $1,800 average commission.

$1,800

One warm intro per month covers a Tesla payment. Five a month is a full-time income.

Portfolio Access
Elevated Tier

For VCs with 10+ active portfolio companies.

We offer flat-rate retainer access, quarterly portfolio reviews, and founder office hours. One agreement covers your entire fund — your founders get a CTO, you get a category-killer perk for your platform.
