Ship Buddies

Refer a founder.
Get paid when
they ship.

The simplest referral program on the internet.

shipwithmeli grows by word of mouth. If you know a non-technical founder who's stuck halfway through building their MVP, send them my way.

When they book a project and enter your code, you get 15% of whatever they paid. They get 10% off their build. Everyone wins.

No sign-up form, no affiliate dashboard, no tracking pixels. DM me for your code (SHIP-XXXX), share it however you want, and get paid when they ship.

How it works

Send your code to any non-technical founder who's stuck on their AI MVP, Lovable, Bolt, Cursor, doesn't matter. When they book a discovery call at shipwithmeli.com, the booking form has an optional “Referral code” field. They enter your code, they get 10% off, your kickback is locked in.

Common questions

Things buddies ask
before they share.

Anyone. Past clients, future clients, your mom, the founder you met at a meetup last week, your Twitter followers. If they book using your code, you get paid.
DM me on Twitter (@shipwithmeli) or WhatsApp. I'll generate a unique SHIP-XXXX code, log it on my end, and send it back within minutes. No fee, no expiry, no cap on how many referrals you can send. Codes are yours forever.
First code on the booking form wins. I won't split kickbacks across multiple referrers. Too messy.
After the client pays the second 50% (i.e., when the project ships and they sign off). I send the kickback within 7 days via Lemon Squeezy refund or Wise transfer, your pick.
No cap. Refer 10 founders a year, get $7,500+ in kickbacks. Refer 1, get $750. Refer 0, no harm done.
Your responsibility. I'll send you a record of payment but you handle your own filing. If you're in Nigeria, this is freelance income for your books.
For larger referral relationships (e.g., agencies sending multiple clients), yes, happy to sign a one-page mutual agreement. For one-off referrals, the booking form attribution and my word are the contract.
Last thing

Get your code in 2 minutes, then send it, and shipwithmeli.com, to any founder who'd be a fit.
