How to apply for Apollo for Startups

  1. Verify Eligibility

    Confirm your startup has ≤20 employees, has not previously used Apollo, and has a corporate email domain.

  2. Apply or Enroll

    Visit Apollo for Startups landing page, complete the application form, or enroll via an Apollo partner if referred.

  3. Approval & Onboarding

    Apollo reviews your application (typically within 5–10 business days) and assigns a dedicated partnership manager.

  4. Activate & Launch

    Receive login credentials, access Apollo Academy training, and begin prospecting with 50% discounted annual pricing.

Pro tip: Lock in your discount for the full 12 months upfront; negotiate renewal terms with your partnership manager 60 days before expiry to explore extended discounts as you scale beyond 20 employees.

Who should apply — and who shouldn't

Apply if

  • You're building a B2B sales or marketing function and need verified contact data at scale (210M+ records).
  • Your team is ≤20 people and you want to avoid vendor lock-in risk by testing Apollo before full-price commitment.
  • You value hands-on onboarding; a dedicated partnership manager accelerates time-to-first-campaign.
  • You plan to run email sequences, lead scoring, and CRM workflows and want integrated automation tools.

Skip if

  • Your startup is already an Apollo customer or has used Apollo in the past 12 months (ineligible).
  • You have >20 employees; you'll need to negotiate enterprise terms separately.
  • You operate primarily in B2C or need consumer contact data; Apollo's strength is B2B business intelligence.

If Apollo for Startups isn't the right fit, compare it against Vanta for Startups, Webflow for Startups Program, Zapier 14-Day Free Pro Trial, Zendesk for Startups Program — or browse the full SaaS Startup Programs category.

Apply — strong program.

Apollo for Startups is a high-value program for early-stage B2B companies: 50% off a proven platform, dedicated support, and no vendor lock-in beyond 12 months.
