Frequently Asked Questions

Who can refer companies to Braintrust?

Anyone with a Braintrust account can refer companies. Whether you're a talent member, a partner, or a community member, you can earn BTRST by making introductions to companies that need to hire.

What types of companies can I refer?

Any company looking to hire tech or professional talent — from fast-growing startups and Web3 projects to Fortune 500 enterprises. Braintrust works with companies of all sizes that are hiring at scale.

Who are the best contacts to introduce?

The best referrals are warm introductions to hiring decision-makers: VPs of Engineering, CTOs, Product leaders, or Talent Acquisition / HR heads. The closer you are to the decision-maker, the more likely the referral will convert.

How and when do I get paid?

You earn 2% of the total amount of every invoice paid by the referred client, up to $100,000 in BTRST tokens per company. Tokens are issued after the referred client pays their invoices and are distributed to your Braintrust wallet.

Is there a limit on how many companies I can refer?

No. There is no cap on the number of companies you can refer. Each qualifying referral earns its own reward, so the more you refer, the more you earn.

What if the company is already talking to Braintrust?

To qualify, the company must be a new introduction that is not already in the Braintrust pipeline or actively engaged. If you're unsure, submit your referral and our team will confirm eligibility.
