More than 50,000 startups run on Zendesk. Through Zendesk for Startups, eligible early-stage companies get the Zendesk Professional Suite and Copilot free for six months, or for up to two years when referred by one of Zendesk's VC and accelerator partners. Members also join a startup community with guides and events, and get partner discounts with companies such as AWS, Notion and GitHub. The program is open to new Zendesk customers with fewer than 250 employees, funded up to Series B and less than ten years old.
Zendesk for Startups
Apivom is part of Zendesk for Startups
Zendesk for Startups gives early-stage companies the Zendesk customer service platform, with AI agents and Copilot, free for up to two years. At Apivom, Zendesk is also an integration we build on: Apivom Atlas serves the Zendesk APIs through one gateway, and Iris One keeps organizations and contacts in sync with Zendesk.
// About the program
What Zendesk for Startups offers founders.
How Apivom uses Zendesk.
Many of our customers run their support desk on Zendesk. We connect it to the rest of their customer data instead of asking them to switch.
Apivom Atlas: the Zendesk APIs behind one gateway
Support, Help Center, Talk, Custom Objects, webhooks and more: over 1,200 Zendesk API routes are available through Atlas, with each customer's own Zendesk credentials kept inside the gateway.
Iris One: two-way sync
Iris mirrors Zendesk organizations and users, links them to the matching customer records and pushes Iris changes back to Zendesk in bulk.
Safe by design
Atlas only forwards requests to the customer's own zendesk.com address, and every call is logged per customer.
Paced for Zendesk's limits
Sync jobs respect Zendesk's export rate limits and resume where they stopped, so large accounts sync reliably.
One customer list
Zendesk organizations and contacts are linked to the same customer records as subscriptions, opportunities and renewals in Iris, so account and support teams work from one list.
Your fields, your mapping
A field map decides which Iris and Zendesk fields sync in each direction, including scoping rules such as one subsidiary's organizations only.
