The terms that decide what you earn.
How you're paid
- You earn 10% of the amount we agree to pay the company for its data, whatever its size, up to $90,000 on today's open requests. The company needs at least 20 full-time employees to qualify.
- Each request shows the most you can earn on it: 10% of the most that request pays the company.
- We confirm the amount once the company signs its data license. Nothing is owed until then.
- Paid after the company's first delivery.
Who can refer
- Anyone can refer, except AI labs.
- You can't refer your own company. If it's yours, it can join as a data partner itself.
- The first valid referral for a company counts. A company that was already referred, or already works with Houston, doesn't qualify.
- You can have up to five referrals open at a time.
Good to know
- We reach out to the company ourselves to introduce Houston.
- Houston decides whether a company is a fit and may decline any referral.
Common questions.
How much can I earn?
You earn 10% of the amount we agree to pay the company for its data, whatever its size, up to $90,000 on today's open requests. The company needs at least 20 full-time employees to qualify.
When do I get paid?
Once the company signs its data license we confirm your reward, and we pay it after their first delivery.
How is the amount for each request set?
Each request shows 10% of the most it pays the company, so you see the most you can earn. What you are paid is 10% of the amount we actually agree with the company.
Do I need to know someone there?
It helps, but you don't have to. Tell us the company and we reach out ourselves.
What happens after I refer?
We review the company and reach out to it. We email you as it moves: submitted, in progress, reward confirmed, paid.
What if someone referred them first?
The first valid referral counts, so a company can only be referred once. A company already working with Houston doesn't qualify.
How many can I have open?
Up to five referrals awaiting review at a time.
What does Houston do with the data?
Houston licenses real business data to AI labs, which use it to train and test AI systems. We confirm what data a company holds, sign an NDA, then agree a data license and a payment. Our team handles the export and removes or protects personal information as the license requires.
Know a company that fits?
Refer it in about two minutes. We handle the outreach, the license and the export.
