Referral Partners
Refer the work you don't do and earn a commission.
When a client needs manufacturing you don't offer, send them to OperGo. They get one team from prototype to production; you earn a referral commission, and your own work stays yours.

On the business you bring. We confirm the exact terms when you partner with us.
Questions from referral partners
Won't you just take my client?
No — we do manufacturing, not the concept design, PCB, or advisory work our partners do. We coordinate the build with you in the loop, not around you, and how involved you stay in the ongoing relationship is up to you and your client.
I run a 3D printing or single-process shop — aren't you a competitor?
No. Our 3D printing is one process among the many we run ourselves, positioned for prototypes and low-volume parts alongside CNC, injection molding, sheet metal and more. We're where your clients go when they outgrow a single process and need tooling or volume — not a desktop print service competing for your day-to-day work.
How much is the referral commission?
It depends on the project and volume, so we confirm exact terms when you partner with us rather than publishing one number for every case — reach out and we'll work it out together.
Is my client's IP protected?
Yes — every project starts under its own mutual NDA with OperGo, in an isolated project space, from the first file. Any agreements you already have with your client are unaffected.
What kinds of partners do you work with?
Industrial and product design studios, single-process job shops, EMS providers, engineering consultancies, hardware accelerators and VCs, and IP attorneys — anyone whose clients eventually need manufacturing they don't provide themselves.
How do we get started?
Reach out and tell us about your business and the kind of clients you'd refer — we'll set up the partnership terms and you can start sending projects our way.
