Roots Partner Program

Our best partnerships start with an introduction from someone who knows our work. If you know a biotech, CDMO, or academic lab that's struggling with a potency assay, a method transfer, or getting its analytical package ready for an IND or BLA, we'd love to meet them, and we'd love to thank you.

How it works:

  • Email us or use the short form below. A quick note about their program is all we need.

  • We reach out, mention you as the referrer, and take it from there.

  • When your introduction becomes a client, we'll thank you in the way that works best for you.

Referral rewards are paid after the referred client's first invoice is paid. Referral fees are not available to employees of the referred company. Terms apply; see full program details below.

    1. Who can refer: Anyone may refer a prospective client to Black Oak BioSolutions. Referral fees are not available to employees, officers, or contractors of the company being referred.

    2. How referrals count: A referral counts when you notify us in writing (email or our referral form) before we are in active discussions with the company. If more than one person refers the same company, the first documented referral counts.

    3. Referral fee (industry colleagues and consultants): 10% of fees collected on the referred client's first project, up to $10,000. A signed referral agreement and a completed IRS Form W-9 are required before payment.

    4. Client rewards: Current and past clients earn Acorn Credits worth 10% of fees collected on the referred client's first project, up to $10,000. Credits are held by the client company, can be applied to any Black Oak service within 24 months, are non-transferable, and have no cash value.

    5. When rewards are paid: Within 30 days after the referred client pays its first invoice. The referred client must sign a project agreement within 12 months of the introduction.

    6. Transparency: We tell every referred client who introduced them.

    7. Confidentiality: We do not share any information about referred clients or their projects with referrers.

    8. Our discretion: We may decline any referral, for example because of a conflict of interest or capacity, and may change or end this program at any time. Rewards already earned will still be paid.Description text goes here
