Framer Startup Program: launch your site on a free year of Pro
Credit amount (provider's words)
Free year of Framer Pro ("Save $360")
As stated by Framer; not a guarantee. Framer decides who is approved.
The Framer startup program gives eligible startups a full year of the Framer Pro plan at no cost, which Framer values at $360, so you can build and publish your startup site with no developers. The application form asks you to confirm three things: you're at pre-seed or seed stage, you haven't used Framer before, and you're backed by a Framer-approved partner.
Framer gives seed-stage startups a free year of Framer Pro for their marketing site. The application form requires you to confirm you are backed by a Framer-approved partner and have never used Framer before.
