Free premium Atlassian suite for 12 months—Jira, Confluence, Bitbucket, Loom—up to 50 users.

You get full access to Atlassian's core cloud products at no cost for a year: Jira for project tracking, Confluence for docs, Bitbucket for code, Loom for async video, and Compass for architecture. No strings attached during the 12 months—you're not locked into anything after. The catch: you need to be VC-backed or part of an accelerator, and you can't have raised more than $10M or already be an Atlassian customer. After year one, you'll need to pay standard rates or downgrade to free tier. This is genuinely useful if your team actually uses these tools; it's not just a credit dump.
