# How to apply for the Startup Program

> Apply for the BattleTest Startup Program — 3 to 12 months of the Startup plan free for early-stage companies, with eligibility criteria and extension steps.

Early-stage companies can apply for 3–12 months of the Startup plan (normally \$60/mo) at no cost.

## Check eligibility

* Founded within the last 3 years
* Fewer than 15 employees
* Pre-Series A funding
* Software is your primary product
* Active development with real customers or a clear path to revenue

## Apply

<Steps>
  <Step title="Go to the application page">
    Go to [battletest.dev/startups](https://battletest.dev/startups).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Fill in the form">
    Fill in the application — company name, product description, current stage, and how you plan to use BattleTest.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Submit">
    Submit the application.
  </Step>
</Steps>

Applications are reviewed within 3–5 business days. If approved, the Startup plan is applied to your account immediately.

## Extend to 12 months

The initial grant is 3 months. Extend to up to 12 months by completing one of:

* Publishing a post about BattleTest on social media (share the link in the extension request)
* Completing a 15-minute founder review call
* Providing a logo and a short written case study for the website

Email [wale@battletest.dev](mailto:wale@battletest.dev) with your extension request and which option you've completed.

## After the grant period

There's no automatic billing at the end of the grant. If you've grown to a point where the Startup plan makes sense at full price, subscribe from Settings → Billing. If you're still pre-revenue, contact support — extensions beyond 12 months are considered case by case.
