Referral bounty
Refer a company
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.
