About Venture Republic

Venture Republic is a product studio that designs and builds web and mobile products. Since 2011, we have designed and shipped 65+ digital products. These include SaaS platforms, consumer mobile apps, and enterprise loyalty and mobility apps for clients across the US, Europe, and the GCC.

We work end to end: product strategy, UX/UI design, design systems, and web and mobile development. Clients get one accountable team from first concept to launch.

We contract with US clients through our US entity, Venture Republic LLC (Delaware). Our core team is based in Lahore, Pakistan, with working hours that overlap US business hours. Clients get senior product and engineering talent at a cost well below comparable US studios.

About the partnership

We're looking for professionals who already have trusted relationships with founders, product leaders, and technology executives in the US.

You make the introduction and help establish the relationship. Our team handles discovery, solution design, estimates, proposals, contracting, and delivery. You won't need to sell technical details or manage the project.

What you'll do

• Introduce Venture Republic to decision-makers in your network who need web or mobile product work.
• Share context on the opportunity: the business need, stakeholders, timing, and budget where known.
• Join early conversations where your involvement helps build trust.

Ideal introductions

Good fits:

• Funded startups (pre-seed to Series B) building a first product or MVP.
• SaaS companies redesigning or scaling a web app, dashboard, or design system.
• Established businesses launching a customer-facing mobile app or modernizing an outdated platform.
• Companies adding AI features to an existing product.
• Agencies or consultancies that need a reliable design and development partner.

Typical engagements:

• Marketing website (design + build): $25k–$50k
• Web or mobile app MVP: $60k–$120k
• SaaS platform or multi-platform product: $120k+
• Ongoing product design and development: monthly engagement

Not a fit: projects under $20k, equity-only arrangements, or template-based work.

Who this suits

• Fractional CTOs, CPOs, and independent product or technology consultants.
• Startup advisers, accelerator mentors, and investors with founder relationships.
• Owners of complementary branding, marketing, or consulting businesses.
• Current or former agency leaders, account directors, and business development professionals.

You've made introductions that turned into paid engagements, and you can tell when a business genuinely needs an external product team. Relationships and results matter more than titles or years of experience.

Commission

• 15% of collected revenue on the first project from each client you introduce.
• Up to 20% where you lead the opportunity through to a signed agreement.
• No cap on earnings.

Example first-project commissions:

• $40,000 website: $6,000
• $90,000 mobile app MVP: $13,500
• $150,000 SaaS platform: $22,500

Commission is paid within 15 days of each client payment. Introductions are registered and protected for 12 months. Full terms are set out in the partnership agreement.

What you get from us

• Direct access to our leadership team.
• Portfolio, case studies, and capability materials you can share.
• Fast turnaround on discovery calls, estimates, and proposals, so your introductions are handled professionally.

There is no fixed income or guaranteed volume of opportunities. Strong partnerships may grow into a dedicated role by mutual agreement.
