Startups face real technical challenges every day—tight resources, rapid iteration cycles, and the pressure to ship products that incorporate sophisticated voice LLM models. We’ve been there. At Vapi, we built the Vapi Startups Program to help early-stage companies iterate faster, build better products, and solve the real problems at hand.
What’s Included
By joining the program, you gain:
Priority Access to Features: Early access to our latest tools and updates so you can experiment and ship improvements before they’re released publicly.
Enhanced Usage Credits: Use 90,000 free usage minutes to prototype, test, and refine your product—more minutes to support more experiments.
Dedicated Community Engagement: A community built by startup builders for startup builders. Participate in technical sessions, join regular feedback calls, and access direct support when you need it.
How It Works
We streamlined the process so you can focus on your work:
Simple Application: Fill out the application form with your company details. We qualify startups based on stage and funding.
Instant Onboarding: If you qualify, you’ll receive an invite email along with an invitation to join our Slack community.
Ongoing Support: Benefit from continuous technical assistance and scheduled feedback sessions as you scale your product.

Why It Matters
