Trio for Fractional CTOs
You are already the person they ask about hiring. Get paid for the answer.
You were brought in because the engineering plan is behind. When the answer is "we need three more senior people and we needed them last quarter", Trio is the introduction you can make without risking your name — and you earn on every month they bill, for a year and a half.

from one introduction that becomes a team of 2
An estimate based on a typical engagement. What you are actually paid is calculated from the real invoice, not from this figure.
How we work together
Refer in three simple steps
Step 1
Refer a company
Enter their website and your email. Confirm the email to lock in your referral window.
Step 2
Add the person you know
Finish your profile, add the contact and authorize outreach.
Step 3
Get paid every month
Receive a signing bonus, then earn commission on every paid monthly invoice.
A referral you can put your name behind
Your reputation travels with every introduction. Your contact gets a thoughtful match, experienced engineers and a low-risk way to grow.
Vetted before the introduction
+
Every engineer is assessed for seniority, technical depth and communication before your contact meets them.
Matched to the actual role
+
We learn what the team needs first, then recommend engineers for that work — not whoever happens to be available.
Easy to start, easy to adjust
+
Engineers can onboard in 3–5 days, and month-to-month terms let the team adapt as its roadmap changes.
Built for the same working day
+
Trio engineers work from Latin America with U.S. timezone overlap, so collaboration happens in real time.
A one-time fee is a firework. This is a pension.
Same introduction. Three ways it could pay you.
| Refer to Trio | Recruiting it yourself | A typical referral scheme | |
|---|---|---|---|
| What you actually do | One introduction | Source, screen, interview, close | One introduction |
| How often it pays | Every month, 18 months | Once | Once |
| Per engineer, year one | $8,566 | ~$14,000 split fee | $500 – $2,000 |
| Finding candidates | Ours | Yours | Theirs |
| Guarantee period | We carry it | You carry it | — |
| Pays again when they hire more | Yes | No | Rarely |
| Cost to start | Free | Your time | Free |
Why they will thank you
A useful introduction for the team you refer, not just a reward for making it.
01
A recommendation you can defend
95% developer retention and a guarantee window. Your reputation is the thing actually at stake here, not the fee.
02
Disclose it in one paragraph
We give you wording you can send your client: you receive a fee, and their rate is unaffected by it. Taking the fee should never be awkward.
03
120 days of protection
Longer than any other Trio track, because advisory sales cycles are longer. Register a company and it stays yours while the decision takes its time.
04
Onboarded in 3-5 days
They plug into the sprint you already set up. No three-month ramp undoing the plan you just wrote.
What Trio engineers deliver
Give your contact more than a name. Give them a faster route to senior engineers who fit the work.
01
Platforms & infrastructure
Production-ready engineers for APIs, integrations, data systems and the architecture around them.
02
Customer-facing products
Web and mobile experiences that turn a roadmap into something customers can use.
03
The right technical stack
Backend, front-end, mobile, data and DevOps—matched to the work, not the bench.

Refer a companyImpact, not promises
Know the team. Make the introduction. Share the upside.
Your introduction stays protected
Clear ownership, a visible pipeline and no surprises for you or your contact.
120-day protection on anything you register
Refer the company before we have spoken to them and your referral stays credited to you — even if they reach us another way later. Registering never authorizes outreach.
You see the real pipeline, not a payout number
Intro call, scoping, contract, placement. Every stage, without having to ask.
A reason, always
If a referral is not accepted you are told why, in plain words. No silent rejections.
Paid from real revenue
Your share is computed from what your client actually bills — never from an estimate.

Questions
Do I get a partner account?
Yes. Referring your first company creates it. Confirm the email we send, complete your profile, and use the dashboard to manage referrals, share your link and track visits and progress.
How and when do I get paid?
Monthly, once your client pays and the hold clears. No minimum balance.
How do you track my referral?
By the company domain you refer, or by your personal link. After you confirm your email, that company is credited to you for 120 days.
What makes a good referral?
Builds software continuously, has engineers already, cannot hire seniors fast enough.
Will my contact know the referral came from me?
Yes. When you authorize an introduction, we identify you as the referrer so the outreach is transparent.
Do you ever contact my network without asking?
Never. Reserving a company does not authorize outreach. We only contact someone after you add their details and explicitly authorize the introduction.
What if I do not know anyone to refer right now?
You can use your partner account and personal referral link whenever you are ready. A specific company is credited to you after you refer it and confirm your email.
What happens when the commission window ends?
Payments stop after 18 months on that engagement. The relationship does not — your next referral starts its own window.
Refer a company
Start with the company website and your email. Confirm the email we send and the referral is credited to you for 120 days.
- Your partner account is created with your first referral.
- 120 days of ownership after you confirm your email.
- No company or contact outreach until you authorize it.
- Manage referrals, link visits and progress from your dashboard.
