Make the right introduction. Earn 15% from the first payment.
Introduce an established business with a real software or AI problem. If Hanabi accepts the referral, closes the project, and receives the first cleared payment, you earn a one-time referral fee.
15% of the first payment
The one-time fee is 15% of the first cleared client service payment actually received by Hanabi.
Warm introductions only
The buyer must be new to Hanabi, aware of the introduction, and accessible to the sales decision.
Clear eligibility
Projects should have an expected value of at least USD 5,000. Pass-through costs, taxes, refunds, and chargebacks are excluded.
Problems established businesses already pay to solve
Hanabi builds custom operational software, AI workflows, internal knowledge agents, system integrations, and production platforms. Strong referrals involve a decision-maker, a painful workflow, and budget—not a copied marketplace brief.
AI and knowledge workflows
Internal knowledge agents, healthcare AI workflows, document processing, review controls, and business automation.
Custom operational software
Web, mobile, backend, dashboards, payments, and systems that replace fragile spreadsheets or manual coordination.
Integrations and connected systems
Production integrations across APIs, cloud platforms, IoT fleets, Stripe, identity, data, and existing software.
Clear answers before you apply
These answers cover client fit, costs, tools, delivery timing, commission, payout, and the approval process. The complete program terms remain controlling.
Who is the strongest client profile for a Hanabi referral?
The strongest fit is an established non-software business in North America, Europe, Australia, or another market Hanabi can lawfully serve. It should have a relevant decision-maker or strong internal sponsor, a concrete operational problem suited to custom software, AI workflows, integrations, mobile products, or connected systems, an expected service value of at least USD 5,000, credible timing, and an informed willingness to meet. Strong signals include repetitive manual work, disconnected systems, spreadsheet-heavy coordination, costly approvals, or a customer, field, or operations workflow that generic software does not solve well.
Are there any application or program fees?
No. Hanabi does not charge an application, onboarding, membership, platform, training, listing, or lead-registration fee. There is no minimum quota, minimum referral volume, or exclusivity requirement. Each party bears its own independently chosen business expenses.
Must a partner buy any software, database, training, or other paid tool?
No. Hanabi does not require a paid CRM, lead database, prospecting subscription, course, certification, or other paid tool. Partners may use their own lawful tools at their own cost, but buying a tool never creates approval, attribution, or commission eligibility.
How long does a typical Hanabi project take?
For planning purposes, a focused first production release often takes about 6–12 weeks. Broader products, multi-system integrations, regulated work, or modernization programs may take 3–6 months or continue as an ongoing retained-engineering relationship. These are indicative ranges, not promises; Hanabi confirms the actual scope and timeline with the client after discovery.
How long until Hanabi receives the client’s full project payment?
There is no fixed full-payment date across projects. The client payment schedule is set in Hanabi’s client agreement and may use an initial payment, milestones, monthly invoices, or another approved structure. Full collection can therefore span the delivery period plus the client’s agreed payment terms. The partner commission does not wait for full project payment: it is based only on the eligible service fees in the first cleared client payment.
When is the referral commission paid?
The commission is a one-time 15% of eligible service fees in the first cleared client payment—not 15% of the total contract or later invoices. Hanabi initiates payout within seven business days after that payment clears, the accepted-referral conditions are verified, no material payment or compliance issue is pending, and the partner’s invoice, tax, identity, and payout information is complete. Bank or payment-provider settlement time is outside Hanabi’s control.
How are international and India-based partners paid?
International partners may submit a Stripe invoice or PayPal payment request where the provider, currency, and law support the transaction. India-to-India payouts are normally made by lawful domestic bank transfer in the required currency. Hanabi may use another finance-approved lawful method when a provider or jurisdiction does not support the requested route.
What happens after I apply?
Hanabi reviews your professional identity, work background, credible buyer access, introduction method, and self-attested conflicts. Shortlisted applicants receive manual scheduling instructions for one onboarding Google Meet. Approved applicants then complete secure legal, tax, and payout onboarding and sign a partner-specific agreement through Xodo. Only after activation may a partner register a prospect company for written acceptance before sharing the buyer’s personal contact details or arranging the qualified introduction.
