FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Everything companies and hunters ask before their first bounty.
Still have questions? Write us — we answer everything.
What is Bountii?
Bountii is a pay-per-meeting marketplace. Companies post their target accounts as bounties with a price per qualified meeting; experienced bounty hunters — professionals with real relationships and years in your market — book the meetings through warm intros where they have them and personal, researched outreach where they don't. Companies pay only when a qualified meeting actually happens.
What is an SDR marketplace?
An SDR marketplace connects companies that need qualified sales meetings with independent sellers who can book them, and charges per result instead of per hour or per seat. Bountii is an SDR marketplace: companies post target accounts with a price per qualified meeting, freelance SDRs and industry insiders claim the accounts they can genuinely reach, and the bounty is paid only when a meeting takes place and meets the criteria set at posting.
How much does a qualified meeting cost?
Companies set their own bounty, starting at a $200 minimum. Most bounties run $300–500 for mid-market decision-makers and $500–1,000 for enterprise executives. For comparison, a fully-loaded SDR typically works out to $600–1,200 per qualified meeting held — with months of ramp time and no flexibility.
What counts as a qualified meeting?
The company defines it when posting the bounty: the prospect works at a target account, their title matches the stated criteria, the meeting ran at least the minimum length (typically 20 minutes), and the prospect knew what the meeting was about. Criteria are locked at posting and every meeting is checked against them before any money moves.
Who are the bounty hunters?
Experienced professionals — salespeople, consultants, founders, operators — who have spent years building relationships in their industries and markets. Every hunter completes a verified profile before they can claim accounts, and their show rates and qualification rates are visible to companies.
Do hunters really keep 100% of the bounty?
Yes. Founding hunters keep the full bounty on every qualified meeting, forever — Bountii takes nothing from the hunter side. The platform earns from company subscriptions instead, which also makes Bountii a neutral referee on meeting qualification.
How fast can I expect meetings?
Hunters typically start claiming accounts within hours of a bounty going live, and the first qualified meetings usually land within days — not the sales quarters an in-house outbound motion needs to ramp.
Is my target account list confidential?
The board shows hunters the account name, the title you want to meet, region, industry, size band and bounty amount, so people with a path in can claim it. Your brief, pitch kit, messaging and any prospect details go only to hunters you approve on that bounty. Every hunter accepts the Hunter Agreement, which makes bounty listings confidential, limits their use to working bounties on Bountii, and adds a 12-month non-circumvention on accounts learned here. Turn on the confidential setting and your own company name is hidden until you accept a hunter.
How is Bountii different from a lead generation agency?
Agencies charge monthly retainers for activity — emails sent, calls made — regardless of results. Bountii is a flat monthly plan sized by how many target accounts you run, and the bounty itself is paid only when a qualified meeting happens. Instead of one team running sequences, you tap a network of individuals who either already know your buyers or have sold into your exact market for years.
How do bounty hunters get paid?
Companies prepay their bounties, so the money is real before hunters start working. When a meeting is held and qualifies against the criteria set at posting, the full bounty is released to the hunter as a bank transfer in their local currency, normally within seven days. Before the first payout each hunter completes a one-time Get paid step (tax residence, a W-9 or W-8BEN tax form, bank account) and is verified. Founding hunters keep 100%: Bountii takes no cut from the hunter side.
Can I use Bountii to expand into new countries?
That's one of the most common use cases. Instead of hiring a local sales team, you post bounties on target accounts in the new market and work with hunters who live there — native speakers with established local networks who understand the business culture. Companies use Bountii to book their first qualified meetings in markets like Germany, France, and Japan within days instead of quarters.
