Customers usually start with an annual PerfectScale plan. That's the number your share is based on.
PerfectScale Insiders Program
Know a team burning cash on Kubernetes?
Make a personal intro to a peer who'd benefit from PerfectScale — and tell them, in your own words, what it did for you. We do the rest, and pay you 10% of the first-year deal.
The math
What an Insider earns
Most intros take less time than reading a `kubectl describe`
0%
Your share
Sent straight to your bank once they pay their first invoice. Or as a cloud credit for your company.
0-year
We give it a year
K8s decisions take time. As long as your intro signs in the next 12 months, you still get paid.
$0.0k
What you'd usually "take home"Top Insiders make 3–5 intros a quarter. One great introduction can fund a quarter of K8s tooling or a meaningful chunk of your cluster bill.
(your actual payout matches whatever the customer signs for in their first year)
how it works
Three steps. One short form.
No logins, no boring forms. You point us at someone who'd benefit — we handle the rest.
Tell us about them
All we need is their name, work email, and a line about what they're working on. Usually takes less than 60 seconds.
Make the warm intro yourself
This isn't lead-gen — we expect a real warm intro from you, not just a form submission. Forward our reply email, ping them on Slack, or DM us first; share in two lines what working with PerfectScale did for your team. That's what turns the intro into a real conversation. A real human follows up within one business day.
You get paid
If they sign, 10% of their first year is yours — typically $4–10k per intro. Sent straight to your bank, or as a cloud consumption credit.

Frequently asked
questions
What's the Insiders program?
It's how we say thank you to the operators who already recommend us in hallway conversations. You make a warm intro to a peer who'd benefit; we handle the rest. When they sign, we pay you 10% of the first-year deal — no portal, no chasing.
What happens to my contact?
A real human reaches out within one business day. We never put them on a drip campaign or sell their information.
Do I need to make a warm intro too, or is the form enough?
The form is how you tell us; the warm intro is how you tell them. We expect both. After you submit, please send your peer a short note — an email forward, a Slack DM, whatever fits — that says, in your own words, what working with PerfectScale was like and the value it delivered to you and your company. That two-line endorsement is what turns a cold lead into a real conversation, and it's why our payouts are real money.
When do I get paid?
After your contact signs and is invoiced for their first month. We pay 10% of the annualized first-year contract value.
What if you already know them?
We'll tell you. If they're not yet a customer and you're the first to introduce us, you stay attributed for the next 12 months.
Can I refer multiple people?
Please do. Most of our top Insiders make 3–5 intros a quarter — that's where the real payouts live.
Who counts as a good intro?
Anyone running Kubernetes in production who cares about cost without trading away reliability. Platform engineering leads, SREs, DevOps managers, K8s consultants. If you'd recommend us in a hallway conversation, send them in.
