How the credits are applied and when they expire

Not credits: approved startups get the included Cloud products at $0 for one 12-month period. Products are classed as 'Free or Beta Products' under the Atlassian Customer Agreement. Usage-based pricing may still apply in some cases, Marketplace apps aren't included, and going past 50 users (10 for JSM/CSM/JPD) needs a paid tier. Before month 12 you choose to renew or cancel each product.

Approval time

Not published; Atlassian emails you if it has questions

For founders in India

No India-specific terms published; the funding cap is stated in US$ and verification uses Crunchbase/PitchBook-style evidence.

How to apply, step by step

Documents and details to keep ready

  • Raised more than US$10M in external funding

Tips before you apply

  • Budget for Marketplace apps, which the offer doesn't include
  • Watch usage-based charges (e.g., Rovo/AI allowances), which can still apply
  • Plan headcount: going past 50 users means buying a paid tier for that product

Terms to know

  • One 12-month enrolment per startup
  • Atlassian Marketplace apps are not included, and the product list may change
