Parain is infrastructure for trusted introductions. Post who you want to meet — a Parainer with the right relationship steps in, makes the intro from their own inbox, and you pay only when the meeting is confirmed.
How it works
Describe who you need to meet and why. Set a bounty amount. Your company stays anonymous until a Parainer commits.
Vetted Parainers with real relationships browse open bounties and only claim ones where they can genuinely deliver.
The Parainer sends the intro from their own inbox. When the meeting is booked via a Parain link, payment is released automatically.

How it works
Specify exactly who you want an intro to — role, seniority, sector, company size. The more specific you are, the better Parainers can self-qualify. A sharp brief gets better intros faster.
Decide how much you'll pay for a qualified intro. The average bounty on parain is €1,400. A higher bounty unlocks better Parainers with stronger relationships. You hold funds in escrow — nothing is paid until the meeting is confirmed.
Watch your inbox. A Parainer who genuinely knows your target sends a warm introduction from their own email. You respond. The meeting happens. Deals that start with a warm intro close 53% more often and 46% faster. You only paid when the call was booked.

Jean's note
"I thought of you immediately — you're exactly the person Marie should be talking to. She's built something genuinely impressive for enterprise ESG compliance and I think there's a real conversation to be had. Happy to join the call if useful."
Marie is looking for a 20-minute conversation to understand whether there's a fit. No sales pitch — just an honest conversation.
