About monday dev for Startups
What you get
Accepted startups receive 10 monday dev seats with access to all features, priced at $2 per seat per month for the first year instead of monday dev's standard per-seat pricing. monday dev is monday.com's product-management and sprint-planning board, built on the same platform as monday work management and monday CRM.
Who qualifies
- Founded less than two years ago.
- Venture capital-backed.
- No more than 50 employees.
- No existing non-trial account for monday dev, monday CRM, monday services or monday work management.
Good to know
- This is a separate offer from monday.com's general startup discount (20% off a yearly plan for early to mid-stage teams up to 30 employees); the two are not the same programme and have different eligibility.
- You need to start a monday dev trial before applying.
- If you qualify, access is granted through an emailed code rather than an instant unlock.
- Investors who want to refer portfolio companies can contact monday.com directly by email.
How to get the most from it
Start the trial first and explore sprints, roadmaps and the dev-CRM-work management integration before applying, so you can confirm the 10 seats fit your team size and workflow before the discounted year starts.
Verdict
A cheap way to run product and engineering workflows on monday's platform if you are young, VC-backed and under 50 people. Bootstrapped teams should look at monday.com's separate general startup discount instead, since this one requires venture funding.
How to apply
- Start a monday dev trial via the sign-up link on https://monday.com/ap/devforstartups.
- Complete the application form with your company and funding details.
- If you qualify, monday.com emails you an access code to unlock the discounted seats.
- Investors wanting to refer portfolio companies should contact monday.com by email instead of using the form.
