← Back to overviewWho is in the Founding 20
Founding 20 Partners are the first twenty partners admitted to the Billity AI Partner Affiliate Program. The cohort is sealed at twenty activations and never reopens — including if a Founding 20 Partner later churns or is terminated. Number assignment is atomic and serialized; if multiple partners activate at once, only the first twenty receive a Founding 20 number.
Lifetime referral economics
Referrals brought in during your Founding Referral Window earn recurring commission for the life of every active subscription you produce, not the standard 24-month window. The recurring rate is the greater of your current commission tier or 30%.
Public recognition is opt-in
Founding 20 Partners are economically Founding 20 whether or not they choose to be listed publicly. Public recognition on partners.billity.ai is opt-in only, and opt-in is set inside the authenticated portal. You can change your public profile any time. Revocation of public recognition takes effect 30 days after written notice via the portal; archival content published before revocation is not subject to recall.
Badge license
The Founding 20 badge is licensed to you under §12.13(c). The license is limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, and revocable, and is granted solely to identify you as a Founding 20 Partner on your owned marketing channels. If your Partner Affiliate Program Agreement terminates or your Founding 20 status is revoked, you must remove all badge displays within thirty (30) days.
Performance gate
To keep the 30% floor and Founding 20 marketing benefits, Founding 20 Partners must hit at least four Qualified Conversions or $10,000 of Net Revenue per rolling twelve months following close of the Founding Referral Window. Falling short triggers a Cure Notice with a 90-day cure period. Failure to cure drops the floor to the standard 25% and revokes Founding 20 marketing benefits, but does not affect lifetime status of referrals already in your book.
