micro1, an AI data buyer, pays people who introduce companies to its data partnership programs. If you advise companies that are closing, restructuring or selling, this is how its referral program works, taken from micro1’s own pages.

Who this suits

People who meet companies at the moment their records become an asset: lawyers, accountants, restructuring and turnaround advisors, M&A brokers, investors and board members. micro1 says anyone over 18 can join.

Which companies micro1 takes

ProgramCompanies it takes

Defunct Company Data PartnershipCompanies no longer operating, 30+ employees, data in English, all industries

micro1 publishes its referral rewards for each program, and how they scale with the deal, on itsreferral page (checked November 11, 2026). A reward is paid only after the company’s data is transferred and approved, and never guaranteed.

How it works

  1. Register as a referral partner and copy your company referral link.
  2. Share the link with a company that may fit.
  3. Someone at the company creates its profile through your link and completes micro1’s data manifest.
  4. micro1 reviews the company and, if it fits, agrees terms and receives the approved data.
  5. The reward goes through micro1’s payout approval and is paid by wire transfer.

Rules worth knowing first

  • Only your link counts. A company that registers any other way is not attributed to you, and micro1 does not change attribution later.
  • No promises on micro1’s behalf. Its terms bar referrers from presenting themselves as micro1’s agent or partner and from promising deal outcomes or payments.
  • Disclose your own interests. Tell micro1 in writing before referring a company you own, control, work for or have a stake in.

Join and start referring

Our payout calculator and eligibility check can help you judge whether a company fits. Send the company your own referral link to register with micro1: the “Apply” buttons on our site use our referral link, so a company that registers through them would not count as your referral.

Questions people ask

Who can join micro1’s referral program?

micro1 says anyone over 18 can refer companies, with no need to work for micro1, except people in countries where micro1 cannot operate.

When is a referral reward paid?

Only after the company you referred has registered through your link, passed micro1’s evaluation, signed, and transferred data that micro1 approved. Registration or a signed agreement alone does not earn a reward, and micro1 says a referral never guarantees one.

What if the company already knows micro1?

If the company registered on its own or through someone else’s link first, micro1 does not attribute it to you and does not change attribution afterwards.

Can I refer a company I own or work for?

micro1’s terms require you to tell micro1 in writing before referring a company you own, control, work for or have a financial interest in.
