we’re always searching for problem-focused founders to partner with, and one of the best ways to find these people is through one-on-one referrals. if you’re in an industry where you are likely to meet this kind of person, we’d love to compensate you for your help
sounds good! tell me how

we’ll be in touch to arrange a call, and if it’s a good fit, onboard you
submit a company through our referral form (if you don’t have all the information that’s ok)
if villagers invests in your referral, we’ll pay you a finders fee (up to $5000)
what else?
money is great but so are friends – tell us what you're looking for (eg product experience, networking opportunities, missing pieces for your own project) – and we'll see what we can do
what is a good fit for the village?
we'll speak with you about the kinds of founders to look out for, in the meantime, here are some starter questions to gauge who might be a good fit:
what is the problem you are trying to solve?
who are the people currently facing this problem? have you spoken with any of them? can I talk to them?
what pain-points does this problem cause them?
what is stopping them today from solving or working around this problem themselves? is it impossible or just a lot of work?
how would their life be different if they had a solution to this problem?
