Buildly Partner Program – FAQ

Is this a job or employment role?

No, this is a partnership model.

This is not employment and does not include a salary, benefits, or fixed hours.
Partners participate as independent referral partners, not employees or agents.

Do I need sales experience?

No traditional sales experience is required.

You do not need to:

  • Cold call
  • Pitch pricing
  • Negotiate contracts
  • Close deals

You just need to recognize when a founder might benefit from Buildly and make a thoughtful introduction.

What exactly do partners do?

Partners:

  • Identify founders or startup teams who may need collaborative product, technical, or operational support
  • Make a warm introduction or share a referral link / QR code
  • Stay out of scoping, pricing, and delivery

Buildly handles everything else.

What does Buildly handle?

Buildly is responsible for:

  • Discovery and qualification
  • Scoping and pricing
  • Contracts and billing
  • Delivery and ongoing client management

Partners are never responsible for execution.

How much commission do partners earn?

Partners earn 25% of revenue collected from qualified referrals.

  • Applies to one-time and recurring engagements
  • Calculated on net revenue received by Buildly
  • No cap on earnings

Commission terms typically apply for up to 12 months from the start of the client engagement.

When and how are commissions paid?

  • Paid monthly or per invoice, depending on the engagement
  • Payments are made via the agreed payment method
  • Partners are responsible for their own taxes

Referral and commission status is tracked transparently through Collab Hub.

What counts as a “qualified referral”?

A referral is considered qualified if:

  1. The introduction is made directly by you (or via your referral link / QR code), and
  2. The startup is not already an active Buildly client or in an active sales conversation, and
  3. The startup enters into a paid engagement with Buildly within 90 days of the introduction

Buildly determines qualification in good faith and communicates status clearly.

  • Buildly works with multiple partners

Is there a minimum number of referrals required?
