OPENRIFT // REFERRAL // SGD

Refer a fit.
We send a kickback.

If you know an SEA SMB drowning in repetitive ops, send them our way. When they close a Deploy with us, we send you 10% of their first six months of Run — or SGD 5,000 lump on Deploy close, whichever is larger. Paid clean, paid on time, in SGD.

01 / HOW IT WORKS

Three steps.

No tracking links. Just email.
01Intro

Send the intro.

Mail referrals@openrift.io with the company name, the person we should talk to, what hurts most in their ops, and any context that helps. Or copy them on the same thread — we don't mind warm intros.

02Discovery closes

They close Discovery.

We follow up within one SGT business day. If they're a fit, we run a paid Discovery week. If Discovery converts to a Deploy contract, your referral is logged and the kickback clock starts.

03Payout

We pay you.

On Deploy invoice payment, you get SGD 5,000 lump if that's larger than the trailing six-month estimate. Otherwise we pay 10% of Run retainer monthly for six months, in SGD, by bank transfer. Receipts and a payout schedule in writing.

02 / PAYOUT

What you get.

In SGD. By bank transfer.
Option A — Trailing
10%
of first 6 months of Run retainer

Run retainers sit between SGD 3,000 and SGD 8,000 per month. That's a six-month trail of SGD 1,800–4,800 in total kickback, paid monthly as your referral's invoices clear. Good for referrals that lock in long-running engagements.

Option B — Lump
SGD 5,000
on Deploy invoice payment

Paid within 14 days of Deploy invoice clearing. Cleaner if you want the cash up front rather than the trail. We take whichever is larger — you don't have to choose.

We default to whichever is larger. On Deploy invoice payment we project the six-month trailing payout. If that's under SGD 5,000, you get the lump. If it's over, we run the trail. You'll see the math in writing before money moves.

03 / GOOD FITS

Who closes.

Four signals
01 / SIZE

Size

10 to 200 people. Past 200 the org is usually large enough to have an internal automation team — different fit, different sale. Under 10 and there's not enough repetition to automate.

02 / GEOGRAPHY

Geography

Headquartered or substantially operating in SEA. Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Philippines, Vietnam, Thailand. We do remote-first deploys but the team has to overlap with SGT for kickoff.

03 / SURFACE

Surface

Already on Slack — even half-adopted — or running ops in WhatsApp groups. If their team lives in email and nothing else, we're a harder fit. The agents have to live somewhere the team already is.

04 / PAIN

Pain

Audibly frustrated with repetitive ops. Billing reconciliation, vendor follow-ups, lead triage, report generation, status updates. Anything where someone senior is doing junior work weekly.

Not a fit

Pre-product startups looking for "an AI strategy." Companies in regulated finance, healthcare, or government that need specific compliance frames we don't hold today. Anyone who wants a SaaS subscription — we're not that, and saying so up front saves everyone time.

05 / FAQ

Five questions.

More? Mail referrals@openrift.io

  • Do I need a contract before referring?

    No. The terms on this page are the contract. When a referral converts to a paid Discovery we send a short referral confirmation email — that's the paper trail.

  • What if the referral talks to you on their own first?

    Tell us. If we already have an active thread, we'll be honest with you about it and you may not be eligible. If you bring substantive new context that moves the deal forward, we'll honour the referral.

  • What if the deal closes a year later?

    Referrals stay attributed for 12 months from the date of the intro. After that the trail expires. We're a young company — we'd rather over-pay than burn relationships.

  • Can I refer multiple companies?

    Yes, and please do. Each referral is tracked separately. There's no cap.

  • Do you withhold tax?

    Payouts are gross. You're responsible for declaring the income in your jurisdiction. We'll send a summary at year-end if it helps your bookkeeping.
