For venture backed startups or accelerator backed companies? So... those who have bootstrapped don't need to grow too?

@lekanb good catch. Please apply. We love bootstrapped startups too. We chose that originally as a simple way to validate size but you are right we should not forgot bootstrapped startups.

**Quick Update** We unlocked everything for *any* startup in the 1-10 < $1M range, whether you're bootstrapped, venture-backed, or part of an accelerator. Thanks for all of the feedback. Let's go!
Andy Cook
@davegerhardt Just came on to ask why this isn’t available for bootstrapped startups. Glad y’all already came around 👏
Brad Ungar
@davegerhardt Great! So even though the site still says VC backed/accelerator companies all bootstrapped are welcome?

@andygcook whatever it will take to get Drift on that Tettra website I guess :)

@bradungar Yup! All good now.

This launch just opened up the doors to Drift for the businesses that have requested it the most - early stage startups. They aren't restricting any features in this plan, so startups get the full power of Drift for 95% off the cost. Drift is perfect for early stage startups because it's like having the power of a marketing team, BDR team and a sales assistant working for you 24/7. If you're an early-stage startup, the price is right so make sure you apply today!

Completely agree with @lekanb. Team drift can you please explain this decision of including only VC or accelerator backed startups?

@lekanb @sromana14 Sromana, please apply anyways. This is our first iteration of this plan, so we're still learning what's the right fit. We want to work with as many early stage startups as possible :) apply here: drift.com/startups

@lekanb @sromana14 @thiagoafram please apply as well if you meet the other requirements: drift.com/startups, thanks :)

How does drift compare to Intercom, Crisp.chat, Zendesk, or even messenger?

@ferminrp Hi! Would be happy to show you. Want to email me dan@drift.com?

Drift being absolutely ****ing Drift in probably the most Boston ****ing video you've seen on Product Hunt all year. These are all good things, in case you're not up to speed. Really good things (like Union Square Donuts if you swap the donuts for software to power your sales and marketing funnel).

@davedri LOL the most Boston video you've see on Product Hunt all year. Amazing.

This temps us to switch from Intercom. The bot applies back it will get back with me soon. Is that how it supposed to work? I didn't even input my email.
Dave Gerhardt

@anthonygawonlee we would need your email in order to get back to you - come hit us up!
Thiago de Carvalho
Agree with @lekanb and @sromana14. If my startup is not included, I cannot support or upvote. Don't understand why not including bootstrappers. Maybe you can clarify?
David Cancel

@lekanb @sromana14 @thiagoafram We do include bootstrappers now. Sorry that was our bad, fixed now.

This is great, I was hoping to get this going but had thought it would have to come later , gonna check out the offer,
Armand
Too bad its billed annually ☹️Would love to upgrade if it were monthly!
David Oragui
And to think that I was just about to shell out $400 for Formstack with conditional logic. Just applied, looking forward to seeing how this works for us.

If you have a website and you’re selling something, Drift is super worth it.

@saijogeorge Let's get one going. That would be fun!
Josh Ho
Awesome way to give back. Not clear what the startup package is vs the packages listed on your website. I understand it's 10 seats, but what functionality? Trying to reverse engineer the math on current packages... can't get to the $750 you list... Is it Team? + 10 seats? Contact limits? Or it's own thing that is most like X?
David Cancel

@jlogic This is the Team version which costs $750/mo with 10 seats.
Manuel da Costa
Was really excited by this offering and was ready to sign up . First I was told that we needed to be venture backed. Then seeing comments from @dcancel and @davegerhardt saying that VC/Accelerator was no longer a requirement, I tried again only to be told by multiple sales reps that it wasn't the case. dont know who's telling the truth and who isn't. gave up bothering after a few attempts.

@davegerhardt @manueldacosta please accept my apology. Sorry for the mixup. We would love to have you as a customer. I've talked to the team about your experience, no excuses, our bad. Please let me know if I can ever be helpful to you.

For bootstrappers, its a lot to ask for one big payment up front.

Pros:

Great service

Cons:

Have to pay $49/mo all up front in one annual payment

Alister Dsouza

its a bootstrap startup and the payment terms were very stiff

Pros:

its a great service

Cons:

too expensive
