  • The OptiTech Startup Program supports both self-funded and VC-backed startups. Self-funded startups should have less than $1M in funding and be in early-stage product development. VC-backed startups should have raised at least $1M or be participating in a recognized startup accelerator.

  • The program provides discounted plans and onboarding credits for OptiTech. The exact amount you receive depends on your stage and funding.

  • Apply using the form on this page. Our team reviews each application and typically responds within a few business days. If you qualify, we'll confirm and apply your credits to your account.

  • Credits are valid for 12 months from the date of acceptance.

  • Yes. Existing users can apply, and if you're approved, credits are added to your current account. You don't need to create a new account or migrate anything.

  • When your credits are used up or reach their 12-month expiration, your account continues on your selected plan and you're billed normally beyond the credit. There's no commitment to stay, and no surprise charges while credits are active.
