Become an AM Scout

Make introductions & earn big when we close the deal.

A True Win-Win-Win Scenario

Do you know of a great business or founder that’s looking for an investment or exit? Simply make an introduction and earn big when we close the deal.

At Awesome Motive, we believe that long-term success requires aligning the incentives to ensure that everyone wins.

This is why we have designed our AM Scout Program with proper incentives to create a Triple-Win scenario:

Win for You (Our AM Scout) – when we close the deal, you will receive 1% of the upfront invested capital for successful acquisition targets. Minimum $15,000 USD and maximum $150,000 USD.
Win for the Founder – over the last decade, Awesome Motive has earned the reputation of offering the most fair & founder-friendly terms for acquisitions. That’s because we’re founders ourselves.
Win for the Team & Users – we are experienced bootstrapped entrepreneurs with no outside investors, and we are building for the long-term. Our first priority & core value is to put People First. We will always protect our team & customers, above all.

Our goal is to acquire and invest in great internet businesses, so we can continue helping shape the web for billions of people worldwide in a way that supports open source & open web (not walled-gardens). Today over 25 million websites use our software to grow their online business and improve their workflows.

Awesome Motive is fully bootstrapped, and the only people we answer to is our team & our customers. Ultimately, our goal is to be the investors that we wish we had when we first started out.

Founders love us because of our signature Awesome Motive M&A process:

Founders can fully exit or partner with us by selling a minority investment stake.
Our process is fast & quick – usually only 30 days.
Our deal structure is simple with cash upfront for founders – inspired by Warren Buffett.
Founders can leave at the end of 30 days or stay onboard to run the business. We’re flexible.
We put people first always – both your team & customers.
We hold the companies for the long term, no exit plan, so our incentives are aligned to always do the right thing.

This ultimately is a huge win for our AM Scouts because we have a very high success rate in closing the deals that you refer, which means you can expect to get paid much faster.

Anything specific you want us to know about you, or perhaps preliminary details on the deal that you're forwarding.

I agree to the following statement: *

When speaking to founders, business owners, and/or their advisors as part of AM Scout program, I will not represent that I am an employee, associate, or representative of AM. I further acknowledge that I do not have any legal authority to bind AM or its subsidiaries to any type of contractual agreements, and will not represent to anyone that I have such authority.

AM Scout Program Details

Awesome Motive is seeking to acquire great internet businesses (in particular software companies) to add to our portfolio.

In order to be eligible for AM Scout Fees:

Scout must introduce us directly to the founder or decision maker of the Referred company.
Referred company must be a company which we have not spoken to before.
Scout fees for successful acquisition or investment will be paid within thirty (30) days of transaction’s completion. Scout will be notified via email when the deal closes.
Scout must keep the acquisition news confidential until AM makes a public announcement. Failure to do so will result in forfeit of Scout Fee.

Here’s a breakdown of AM Scout Fees:

AM Scouts will earn one percent (1%) of the upfront invested capital for successful Referred company acquisition that turn into full acquisitions or investments.
Minimum payment is fifteen thousand dollars ($15,000 USD)
Maximum payment is one hundred and fifty thousand dollars ($150,000 USD)

When someone tells you it can’t be done, it’s more a reflection of their limitations, not yours!
