Build with us. Shape the platform. Lock in founding economics.

MSPs are technically excellent and operationally under-resourced. QBRs slip, proposals are slow, and churn signals appear too late — not because service fails, but because there was never a system to run the business layer at MSP cadence. Catalyst OS closes those gaps. We're inviting a select group of MSPs to shape the platform before broad release and co-author the case studies that will define the category.

What we commit to

Deliverables in writing, signed before a dollar changes hands.

We’re pre-revenue and won’t pretend to guarantee quantified outcomes we haven’t yet measured at scale. What we will commit to, in your SOW, is what we’ll build, what you’ll see, and when.

Referring partner economics

What you earn per conversion.

Performance-based. No upfront cost. No media buy required. For every MSP that signs a Catalyst OS Early Adopter Agreement through your introduction, you earn in two components. Referrals are tracked by introduction email — no codes, no forms. Every MSP that mentions your name when reaching out to lucas@catalystshift.ai is logged in a shared referral tracker updated monthly.

Signing spiff

$500

Per MSP · paid at Month 2 after signing the EAP agreement.

MRR share

10%

Of MSP MRR · paid alongside each MSP billing, Months 1–12.

Combined

$1,700

Per converted MSP · indicative full-year value at typical bundle.

MSP referral bonus · stackable

Any MSP in the program can also earn referral credits. Refer a qualified MSP that enrolls and receive a $500 MRR credit applied to your following month’s invoice. No cap — every referral that converts earns another credit. Referrals already required for Tier 1 and Tier 2 count toward this bonus.

$500 / referral · no cap
How it works

Four steps from introduction to revenue.

Lucas qualifies the MSP, signs an SOW with defined deliverables, and Keith leads onboarding within five business days. Credits post to your account monthly.

Step 01

Make the introduction

Introduce a qualified MSP to Lucas. That introduction email is the referral record — no codes or forms needed.

Step 02

30-minute fit call

Lucas qualifies the MSP on stack, revenue range, and timing. If it doesn’t fit, we say so clearly. No pressure to move forward.

Step 03

Sign & onboard

SOW with defined deliverables — what we’ll build, what you’ll see, when — signed before a dollar changes hands. Keith leads onboarding within 5 business days of signing.

Step 04

Earn & compound

MSP rebates post as invoice credits monthly. Your $500 spiff pays at Month 2. Your 10% MRR share pays alongside each MSP billing.
