The model

Referral programs align three parties:

  • The company gains a new revenue stream from data it already holds.
  • The buyer gains access to valuable, licensed data.
  • The partner earns a share for making the connection.

The SourceX terms

  • 25% of SourceX's collected fee per referred company.
  • Capped at $100,000 per company.
  • Paid after the buyer selects and pays for the data and SourceX receives its fee.

Why it works

The best introductions come from trusted relationships, not cold outreach. Partners who already know established companies are the most effective channel — and the program pays accordingly.
