Gotchas

  • Spots are limited and meeting the criteria does not guarantee acceptance.

  • Buying any paid Zoom plan before applying makes you ineligible.
  • No dollar value or renewal pricing is stated; expect list pricing after the 12 months.

About the Zoom program

Zoom for Startups gives selected early-stage companies one year of Zoom Workplace Business Plus for up to 25 seats. Business Plus bundles meetings, team chat, phone, whiteboard and the AI Companion features of Zoom Workplace, so the offer replaces the need to pay for a Zoom Phone or Business licence during the first year.

The program is aimed at early-stage companies from pre-seed to Series A with fewer than 50 employees. Zoom lists affiliation with select startup partners as a criterion and excludes companies that already have a paid Zoom subscription. Spots are limited and every application is reviewed individually, so acceptance is not automatic even if you meet the criteria.

Zoom does not publish its partner list or a dollar value for the package on the landing page. A separate Zoom Developer Platform offer (developer credits and Zoom One discounts for teams building on Zoom's APIs and SDKs) and the Zoom Cares nonprofit discount are different programs.
