Referrals

Help a peer grow. Get rewarded for the introduction.

If a peer in your network has heard you talk about LeanScaper and wants to know more, you can open the door. We'll figure out whether the platform or the Accelerator is the right fit and take it from there. And when they join, we thank you for it.

How it works

It takes 60 seconds. We do the rest.

01

Submit a referral

Fill out the form with the company's name and contact. That's it.

02

We handle the sales process

Our team reaches out, qualifies, and closes. You don't need to sell anything.

03

They join LeanScaper

Once they've been a paying customer for 3 consecutive months, your reward is issued.

04

You earn

Cash payout — and as you refer more, you unlock experiences that can't be bought anywhere.

Who Can refer

Open to the LeanScaper community.

This program is open across the LeanScaper community — Accelerator members, Advisors, and free community members. You don't need to pitch — just introduce. The right referral is a peer who's heard you talk about LeanScaper and wants to know more. Often that's an operator who's growing but stuck, or still working in the business instead of on it. That's who LeanScaper helps most.

In conversations with peers, listen for these signals:
- A peer who's busier than ever but not sure the work is making more money.
- A business owner who's hired a team but is still the bottleneck.
- Someone who's tried tools before and been burned — but is open to proof from a peer.

Some referrals will be a fit for the platform. Others will be ready for the Accelerator. You don't need to know which — figuring that out is our job, once you've made the introduction.

Followed by dinner with a senior member of the LeanScaper leadership team and select Advisors. Held at the next Intensive after you qualify. This isn't networking. It's a working session with the people who know this space best.

Program rules

Who's Eligible & How it Works

  • Who's eligible: Open across the LeanScaper community — Accelerator members, Advisors, and free community members. Not available to Partners. Milestone rewards require a qualifying tier (see Milestone rewards).
  • Referral window: The referred company must become a paying customer within 60 days of your referral submission. We'll notify you when this happens.
  • Payout timing: Rewards issue after the referred company completes 3 consecutive months as a paying customer.
  • Milestone counting: Only paid referrals count toward milestones — a closed deal that hasn't reached the 3-month mark hasn't counted yet. We'll email you when your payout is issued, and will identify the milestones earned.
  • Unique companies only: Each referred company counts once, regardless of the plan they join.
  • No cap: There is no limit on the number of referrals you can submit or the amount you can earn.
FAQ

Common questions.

Do I need to sell them on LeanScaper?

No. Submit the form, we reach out, we qualify, we close. Your job is the introduction.

When do I get paid?

Once your referred company has been a paying customer for 3 consecutive months. We'll email you when your payout is issued.

What if the deal takes longer than 60 days to close?

The referred company needs to become a paying customer within 60 days of your submission. We move fast — if the timing is tight, our team will prioritise.

Can I refer more than one company?

Yes. There's no cap on referrals or earnings.

What plans count toward milestone rewards?

Milestones count paid referrals across both Accelerator and LeanScaper platform referrals. Milestone rewards are available to Accelerator GROW or higher, LeanScaper platform Premium or higher, and Advisors on 12-month engagements.

What if I'm not sure someone is a fit?

If they've heard you talk about LeanScaper and want to know more, submit them — we'll figure out whether the platform or the Accelerator is the right fit from there. If they haven't shown interest yet, hold off. The program works best as a true one-to-one introduction, not a cold name off a list.
