Referly did this before they pivoted to Mattermark: https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/refer-ly



Did Referly have a two sided marketplace? I knew Referly as a platform that allowed individuals (bloggers, authors, content marketers) to track the referral links that they themselves share.

I thought it was basically a database of referral programs where Referly was attempting to reach high enough volume to negotiate a rake from the company already offering that referral program. I never saw them offering to setup referral programs on behalf of companies.

edit: The answer to my question is: Yes. Not exactly what the top comment asked for but it was close. https://techcrunch.com/2012/07/23/referly-gets-more-social-l...


Anyone know why they pivoted? I don't really need the social sharing stuff as my referrers will be invited and given their own link to share. Seems like something lots of businesses would need. Mine does.
