Startups need partnerships
Startup programs are not just about price or packaging.
They are about establishing relationships with the best-of-breed companies that have established watering holes for company formation events.
Think: Stripe, Brex, AWS, HubSpot, GoDaddy, and so on.
Where are startups formed and built? Tech giants like the above as well as communities like IndieHackers (ahem, Stripe) and programs like YC.
Startup programs aren’t just a cheap price for startups to buy your software.
They are programs that help the existing watering holes that serve startups to better serve their customers. Your product and pricing require a partnership to make that happen.
Not the other way around. Think about it.
