Notion for Startups

Notion for Startups

Offers Notion startup credits to support knowledge systems and collaboration for founders.

Notion for Startups is a tiered in-kind credits program operated by Notion Labs, Inc. (San Francisco) that provides eligible companies with free access to Notion's Business plan with Notion AI included. Three credit tiers are structured by company size and partner affiliation: partner-affiliated startups — those backed by one of Notion's select accelerator or VC partners — receive six months free with a stated maximum value of $12,000 for a team of 100; companies with a valid business domain and under 100 employees receive three months free; and small businesses or service companies with under 10 employees receive one month free. All tiers also include access to Notion Perks (exclusive software discounts) and one complimentary consultant session.

Eligibility requires the applicant to be a non-paying Notion customer with no previous Notion promotions, a valid work email address (personal Gmail and Outlook addresses are not accepted), and fewer than 100 employees. Applications are submitted at notion.so/startups-apply on a rolling basis with no published deadline. Benefit is delivered as a plan credit; no cash changes hands at any point.

Notion is a productivity and knowledge-management SaaS platform, and this program functions as a customer-acquisition channel rather than a research grant. The Business plan covers unlimited collaborative workspaces, advanced permission controls, audit logs, and Notion AI features across text generation, database automation, and meeting summaries. Startups that qualify through a partner affiliation capture the highest-value tier and the broadest feature access at no cost during their first six months on the platform.
