Seventy-five bucks in email credits for bootstrapped founders who are actually charging customers.

Postmark's Bootstrapper Offer hands you $75 in account credit to burn on transactional email—the kind that actually needs to work (password resets, receipts, notifications). You get their full stack: reliable delivery across 6 AWS regions, API and SMTP access, 45 days of email history, templates, webhooks, and TLS encryption. The catch is real: you need a launched product, active paying customers, and zero outside funding. No pre-revenue startups, no side projects. The credit itself doesn't expire, but you'll need to use it within a reasonable timeframe or risk account dormancy.
