Affistash

What Affistash does

Affistash is an AI-powered affiliate marketing platform that helps brands, agencies, and affiliate managers discover, evaluate, and recruit affiliate partners across the open web. The product targets the manual-research bottleneck in affiliate program management by combining cross-platform partner discovery (covering SEO/bloggers, YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, LinkedIn, Twitter/X, Facebook Groups, Telegram, and Beehiiv newsletters) with traffic analytics, verified contact data, and a built-in Partnerships CRM. Underlying technology rests on AI/ML matching algorithms, lookalike partner search, AI-generated personalized outreach sequences, a Keyword Explorer, and predictive scoring of conversion probability; a REST API exposes these capabilities programmatically to Enterprise customers.

The company operates on a tiered SaaS subscription model: a Premium plan at $97/month (450 export credits, single user), an Agency plan at $247/month (1,100 credits, 5 user seats, bulk features), and a custom-priced Enterprise tier with unlimited lists/credits, branded dashboards, and API access. Go-to-market is predominantly product-led and self-serve, supported by an expansive library of 25+ free standalone discovery tools, the Affistash Academy educational content property, and organic SEO/Content channels; demos and enterprise sales handle upmarket deals. Customer segments span brands and e-commerce businesses building affiliate programs, marketing/affiliate agencies managing multiple clients, individual affiliate managers, and SaaS companies running referral programs. No revenue, ARR, or funding figures are disclosed.

Affistash was co-founded by Dustin Howes (15+ years of affiliate marketing experience) and Victor Giurgiu. In 2024 the company was acquired by FMTC (Feed My Turnover Cow), a partner-marketing and coupon platform founded by Kim Lohrberg; Affistash continues to operate as a product line under FMTC, with Kim Lohrberg now handling demo scheduling and customer-facing communications. The combined entity retains Affistash's branding, product surface, and founder involvement while gaining access to FMTC's merchant ecosystem.
