50% off referral software for seed stage, plus 20K free referral participants to bootstrap growth.
GrowSurf's referral platform automates word-of-mouth campaigns with built-in fraud protection, custom portals, and analytics. Seed-stage startups (under $2M raised) get 50% off year one plus 20,000 bonus participants; Series A gets 25% off plus 10,000 participants. The discount runs 12 months; participant bonuses stick around as long as you're paying. You need to be a new customer, backed by an approved VC/accelerator, and have a live website and LinkedIn profile. The participant bonus is the real win here—that's real campaign reach handed to you upfront. Best for founders who've already validated product-market fit and want to systematize referrals without hiring a growth ops person.
