Sales & support credits for startups

Free to join, no fees and no equity. The direct value is preferred pricing on select NVIDIA hardware and software, free cloud credits from NVIDIA and its partners, and free self-paced technical training. The indirect value is often bigger: Inception Capital Connect makes investor introductions, and membership is a recognized signal that unlocks better tiers in other programs.

The steepest discount curve in go-to-market software: 90% off year one, then 50% off year two and 25% off year three for startups that raised a pre-seed, seed or Series A round and are either partner-affiliated or have venture funding verifiable on Crunchbase or PitchBook. A lower tier gives 30% off year one and 15% off year two through approved entrepreneurial organizations.

Incorporating through Atlas unlocks a bundle of partner offers alongside the company formation itself — cloud credits, SaaS discounts and tooling from a rotating partner list. Most valuable at the very start: if you have not incorporated yet, routing the formation through Atlas is one of the cheapest ways to trigger several partner perks at once.

Up to 90% off Intercom's AI-first customer service platform for early-stage startups. Similar in structure to the HubSpot offer, so it is worth deciding your support and CRM stack before you claim either — both discounts are one-time and tied to net-new accounts.

Up to two years of Zendesk at no cost for outside-funded startups applying directly, not just the smaller version bundled into some banking and fintech partner perk packs. A straightforward win if you already know you want a ticketing system.
