Freshworks FreshStack Startup Program
Some apply links may be affiliate. See our policy.
Three grand in Freshworks credits for CRM, helpdesk, and ticketing—no equity stake.
You get $3,000 to spend across Freshworks' full stack: CRM, helpdesk, sales engagement, and asset management tools. Credits apply to any paid plan tier and don't expire for 12 months. The catch is you need to be a genuinely early-stage company (usually pre-Series A, though definitions vary). Freshworks doesn't require equity or revenue thresholds, which is refreshing. You'll need to apply through their startup portal and get approved before credits activate. The $3K goes fast if you're running multiple products, so prioritize what actually moves the needle for your team. Best for founders who need a full customer-facing stack but don't have budget yet.
