Referral bounty

Refer a company

Handshake AI

Published payment terms

$10,000 per referred company that signs

This describes a payment to a referrer. It is separate from proceeds paid to the data owner.

What they want

Introductions to companies that could license their data to Handshake AI.

Who qualifies

Referred companies need 20+ full-time employees and 3+ years in operation.

Conditions and qualifications

Handshake's FAQ says there's no limit on referrals and the referrer must be the first to introduce the company; companies already referred or in contact with Handshake aren't eligible. No separate referral terms are published, so rules on who can refer and on clawbacks are not stated.
