JetBrains — JetBrains for Startups
Free or heavily discounted JetBrains IDE licenses for young companies, renewable annually. Genuinely self-serve with no investor requirement, which makes it one of the easiest first applications for a bootstrapped team — and a good way to confirm your company documentation is in order before you attempt a six-figure program.
