# Introducing the Exoscale Mentor Program

> [!NOTE]
> **The Mentor Program is deprecated as of December 2021 pending a new version.**

Today we're very excited to launch our mentor and referral program.
We know many of you have waited for this. After all, you're a happy customer
and believe in the cloud native approach.
By becoming a mentor you can help your friends in the community reap the
benefits of a truly cloud native architecture.
What's wrong with collecting a little reward from your favourite Cloud
along the way? Nothing, exactly.

## Here's how it works

 1. Get started by inviting all your friends
 1. Your friend signs-up and makes their first payment
 1. You can help them to get their cloud native infrastructure up
 1. You __and__ your friend both receive a reward after your friend's second
    payment

I don't want to spoil the surprise, but for your friend we double the payment
and you get 50 CHF credited to your account.
