The fact that affiliate programs are fast disappearing from the 'credible startup' world is food for thought for this type of marketing. But I want to find out which startups still offer an affiliate program?

Not sure what you mean by disappearing from the credible startup world, affiliate programs are a fantastic way to grow your user base, especially for bootstrapped companies.

The reason affiliate marketing sometimes backfires is that you can't filter out who's writing about your product and what they're writing. 37Signals stopped taking new affiliates, and instead started a 'Tell-a-friend' program coz these kinds of recommendations are more personal and have better chances of getting looked at favourably. If I could choose, I'd pick a referral program over an affiliate program.
But thanks for listing your product. It's interesting to know who's behind affiliate marketing today.

Affiliate marketing is run by highly motivated individuals working to juice as much cash out of an advertiser as possible... Don't believe me? Ask Ryan Eagle

It's a bit weird your signup form takes you to a second signup form.

#8Dropbox was in very large part built on their affiliate program. Doesn't get any more credible than that.
PayPal's affiliate program was a big deal too (Dropbox's was influenced by theirs IIRC).

#9There are tons of startups that have affiliate programs...
Fab, Chargify, 20x200, SnapEngage, Sendgrid, Trada, Leads360, Hootsuite & Getaround to name a few off the top of my head.

Agree. Although similar in nature, referrals from customers / advocates are much more meaningful than from random affiliates. Our software http://getAmbassador.com is useful for both types of programs.
