Referral programme
Extraordinary people are everywhere. The right introductions help them go further.
Frontier is a referral programme. You introduce someone who might qualify for a visa, we handle the rest, and you are paid when they sign.
Frontier
The next extraordinary founder, researcher, engineer, or creator might already be in your network. Frontier gives you a way to turn those connections into opportunities. Whether you’re an individual with a strong network or an organization supporting exceptional people, you can help connect them with global talent mobility pathways.
Scouts
For individuals who recognize exceptional people and know how to make the right introduction.
Partners
For venture capital firms, accelerators, founder communities, universities, and organizations supporting exceptional people.
How it runs
Identify exceptional people in your network who may benefit from international mobility opportunities.
Submit a referral through Frontier with the candidate's consent and the information needed to make an introduction.
The Meritalien team reviews the referral, assesses the candidate's needs, and determines the appropriate next steps.
When your referral meets the program's eligibility and payment conditions, receive your applicable reward.
The people
Frontier supports introductions across a range of professional backgrounds and global mobility goals.
Software engineers, technical leaders, and builders with notable achievements.

Entrepreneurs with meaningful company, product, or industry achievements.
Investors, executives, operators, and people creating significant business impact.

Join Frontier
You don't need to be an immigration expert. You need to recognize potential, make thoughtful introductions, and help exceptional people discover opportunities they might otherwise miss.
Whether you are introducing one person or connecting an entire community, Frontier gives you a way to participate.
