About the Sanity program
The Sanity Startup Program gives early-stage startups 1 year of free access to Sanity's Growth plan, which Sanity values at up to $9,000. The plan includes 50 user seats, private datasets, user roles, comments and tasks, scheduled publishing and AI Assist.
The program is currently only available to portfolio companies of Sanity's partners: Sequoia Capital, Accel, Y Combinator, Creandum, Antler, Heavybit, Startuplab, Sondo Capital, Skyfall Ventures, TinySeed, Startupbootcamp and 351 Startups. To be eligible you must have fewer than 20 employees, have raised less than $5M in total, and not already be a paying Sanity customer.
You join through a link or coupon code from your partner. For an existing project, an admin applies the coupon from the Plan tab in Sanity Manage and attaches an organization with payment details; the card is only charged for usage above the Growth plan quota. After 12 months the project moves to the paid Growth plan ($15 per seat per month) unless you downgrade to the Free plan.
