Referral partner program

Your network's idle code worth $100K+
Refer it, earn 15%.

Agencies, founders, and companies are sitting on idle code that AI labs pay real money to license. Introduce them to Pangea, and you earn 15% of everything the people you refer make, paid again and again, every time their code is re-licensed. No cost to you, no cost to them. Just share your links.

Proof it works

$6M has already been paid to code owners. Referrers would have earned 15% of all of it.

Every figure below is real licensed revenue. Because licences are non-exclusive, it keeps growing, and so does the 15% behind it.

These payouts already happened. Anyone who had referred those code owners would have earned 15% of what the owners were paid, and would keep earning every time the same codebases are licensed again.

The deal

You earn 15% of what the code owner is paid, for as long as it sells.

The people you refer are paid roughly $100 for every 1M tokens of source code and $40 for every 1M tokens of git history. You earn 15% of whatever they earn, on every deal, for as long as it keeps selling.

Your share
15%

of what the code owner earns on every codebase they license through your referral.

Recurring
No cap

Licences are non-exclusive, so you’re paid every single time a referred codebase is licensed or sold.

Paid out
15days

You’re paid within 15 days of the fees being paid out, into the account you set up.

It costs you nothing to join, and nothing comes out of what the code owner takes home.

Who you can refer

Two kinds of code owner. Two links to share.

You get two distinct tracked links, one for each track, so you can send the right one to the right audience. Anyone who owns real, production source code and its git history can license it, and you earn on all of it.

Track 1

Dev agencies

Software agencies sit on years of delivered projects, R&D, and internal tools that go idle the moment an engagement ends. That code, and its full commit history, is exactly what frontier AI labs pay to license.

  • They license only repos they own and choose. Client work and NDAs stay out.
  • They keep full ownership and internal use.
  • You earn on every repo they license, recurringly.

Track 2

Individuals & companies

Freelancers, founders of wound-down startups, fractional CTOs, and companies with internal tools all own code sitting idle. A dead project or a shelved internal tool can still pay, and you’re paid for connecting them.

  • Wound-down ventures, side projects, and internal R&D all qualify.
  • They redact anything sensitive before submitting.
  • Same 15%, same recurring payout, on every codebase.

Earnings estimate

What could your referrals be worth to you?

A quick, illustrative ballpark of your recurring earnings: 15% of what the code owners you refer are paid. Real figures depend on each codebase and buyer demand.

Your referrals

Companies you refer, times repos each licenses, at the selected codebase depth. You take 15% of what the code owners earn.

How it works

Three steps. All you do is share a link.

Request your links

01

Apply below and agree to the partner terms. We issue you two tracked referral links, one per track, usually within minutes.

Share them

02

Send them however you like: email, DMs, socials, your newsletter, your community. Anyone who joins the licensing program through your link is attributed to you.

Get paid, repeatedly

03

When a referred codebase is licensed, you earn 15% of what the code owner is paid, within 15 days of the fees being paid out, and again on every future re-license.

One fairness rule: once someone signs up through your link, Pangea has 10 business days to flag any pre-existing relationship. If nothing is flagged, the referral is conclusively yours.

Questions? [email protected]

However you like. You get two unique tracked links, one for dev agencies and one for individuals & companies. Drop them in emails, DMs, social posts, your newsletter, Slack or Discord communities, anywhere your audience is. Everyone who joins the program through your link is automatically attributed to you.

Through your referral link. Make sure the people you refer sign up using your link, that’s what ties them to you, and there’s no separate tracker to maintain. A code owner is “yours” if they first engage the program through your link and weren’t already an active Pangea customer or in the documented pipeline before you referred them. If you’re ever unsure whether someone will be attributed to you, email our team at [email protected] before they sign up.

Once someone signs up through your link, Pangea has 10 business days to flag a pre-existing relationship or documented pipeline entry. If we don’t flag it in that window, the referral is conclusively yours, absent fraud. It keeps attribution fair on both sides.

15% of whatever the people you refer are paid, on every deal. As a rough basis, code owners are paid about $100 per 1M tokens of source code and $40 per 1M tokens of git history. The code owner keeps their full share; your 15% is paid on top and doesn’t come out of their pocket.

Yes. Licences are non-exclusive, so the same codebase can be licensed again and again. You’re paid on every transaction for a referred codebase, not just the first, with no cap on how many times.

You’re paid within 15 days of the referral fees being paid out, in USD, into the payout account you set up. Fees are only ever paid out of amounts actually collected, but every collected deal on a referred codebase pays you.

No. It’s free to become a partner, free to share your links, and nothing is deducted from what the code owner takes home. Your 15% is paid on top.

Any real, owned source code plus its git history: agency projects and R&D, internal tools, side projects, and code from wound-down startups. The code owner only submits repos they fully own, and can redact anything sensitive first.
