How does it work?

The referral program is designed to be very simple and rewarding for both referrers and referred startups. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how it works:

  1. Joining the Referral Program: As a selected referrer, you’ll receive an email from us, and a unique referral link and partner key. This link is specific to you and will be used to track the referrals you make.
  2. Sharing the Referral Link: Share your referral link with other startups who you think could benefit from joining the Notion for Startups program. You can share it via message, email, social media, or any other public communication platform.
  3. Referral Application: The referred startup will use your unique referral link and partner key to apply for the program. They will be required to enter the partner key during the application process. Please be careful that, if the partner key will not be applied, we’ll not be able to process the referral
  4. Application Review: The Notion team will review the application to ensure that the referred startup meets the eligibility criteria and T&Cs. This review process is conducted fairly and transparently.
  5. Approval and Reward: If the referred startup is approved, they will receive the benefits of the referral program, which include a $100 cash prize, three months of free Plus plan, and unlimited AI (worth up to $3,000). As the referrer, you will receive a $100 Visa cash reward for each successful referral, that you will be able to spend on whatever you prefer.
  6. Payment Timeline: The cash rewards for referrers are processed in 5-10 business days.

How and when will I get paid?

Payments are processed in 5-10 business days. Once a referred startup's application has been approved, startups will receive their $100 cash reward in 5-10 business days.

To be paid you will have to do nothing. We’ll send you a Visa Gift card with your cash reward to the email address associated with your Notion account. Please ensure your email details are up-to-date to avoid any delays in receiving your payment.
