Founder partner program

Get a founder-checked feature before paid slots exist.

IndieSaaSDeals is building distribution around one promise: discounted tools should show signs the founder is still shipping. The current partner model is free feature first, tracked traffic second, affiliate or revenue-share only when there is proof.

Free while distribution is being built

There is no upfront listing fee for the current founder batch. Good offers are reviewed for the weekly brief first.

Every click is routed through /go

Outbound traffic is tracked so a founder can see whether IndieSaaSDeals sent qualified interest.

Affiliate or revenue-share first

If you have a partner URL, affiliate link, or coupon code, we can use it behind the tracked link.

Good fit

What we need from founders

Useful SaaS tool with a real discount or founder-only offer
Visible activity signal such as changelog, public posts, GitHub, or release notes
Clear terms, pricing page, support route, and redemption path
Willingness to use a partner URL, coupon code, or revenue-share link if traffic appears
Monetization path

How this becomes revenue

The first dollar should come from attribution, not from charging founders before there is audience proof. Once a listing gets meaningful clicks, the next step is a founder-owned affiliate URL, a partner link, or an IndieSaaSDeals coupon code.
