Feature 3 of 5 in our Launch Week series

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:

  1. Simple Application: Fill out the application form with your company details. We qualify startups based on stage and funding.
  2. Instant Onboarding: If you qualify, you’ll receive an invite email along with an invitation to join our Slack community.
  3. Ongoing Support: Benefit from continuous technical assistance and scheduled feedback sessions as you scale your product.

Who Is Eligible?

  • Companies founded within the last 5 years.
  • Startups with funding between $100K and $5M.
  • Builders who are actively integrating voice LLM as a core part of their product.

Members of the Vapi Startups Program also gain access to:

  • Developer-focused channels for collaboration and technical discussions.
  • Structured feedback sessions designed to help you refine and ship your solutions.
  • Regular technical review events and check-ins.

Why It Matters

This isn’t just a support program—it’s a practical partnership. We’re here to build alongside you, to help you iterate, test, and ultimately deliver products that work. We believe the best progress comes from honest experiments and deep technical collaboration.

Getting Started

  1. Apply today and join a community of startup builders.
  2. Log in to your Vapi Dashboard and create your Vapi Assistant.
  3. Review our Docs for detailed instructions and best practices.

Stay curious, keep iterating, and let’s build something real together.
