Eligibility

Requirements

How to apply

  1. 1

    Check whether your investor appears in the Select Partners logo grid on replit.com/startups.

  2. 2

    Submit the startup application on the page with company and investor details; unlisted funds can still apply.

Gotchas

  • The $25,000 tier requires a Select Partner investor; other VC-backed teams get a free year of Pro, not credits.
  • Credits expire 12 months after approval.
  • Existing paying subscribers get credits instead of a trial, so do not cancel a plan to qualify.
  • Older Replit programs (Ventures, Race to Revenue) have different terms and are not the current program.

About the Replit program

Replit's Startup Program (replit.com/startups) has two tiers. Startups backed by a Replit Select Partner fund (the FAQ names a16z, Khosla and SVB as examples; check the Select Partners logo grid on the page) can receive up to $25,000 in Replit credits. Other venture-backed startups get a free year of Replit Pro.

Credits last 12 months from the approval date, and Pro subscriptions stay active for as long as the partnership is in effect. If you already pay for Replit Core or Pro, you receive equivalent credits instead of the free trial. Replit confirms eligibility when it approves your application, and startups whose fund is not listed can still apply because every application is reviewed.

VCs and accelerators can join as partners for free through the partner application form on the same page. Older Replit programs (Replit Ventures, Race to Revenue) were cohort-based and are not the current offer.
