  3. In the 'Who is your Investor?' field, pick your VC, accelerator or incubator from the list or type its name. If you have no backer, leave this out
  4. Submit the form and wait for Make to confirm. Make does not publish a review time

Documents and details to keep ready

  • Company email address
  • Company website URL
  • Name of your investor, accelerator or incubator (optional, for the 'Who is your Investor?' field)

Tips before you apply

  • Apply from your company email domain, not a personal Gmail; Make requires a working company email and website
  • Don't start a paid Make plan before applying: paid use in the last 3 months makes you ineligible
  • Plan for month 7: the free Teams plan becomes 50% off for 3 months, then full price
  • Leave the investor field blank if you are bootstrapped; a backer is not required

Terms to know

  • Free period lasts up to 6 months, then 50% off for 3 months. After that, standard pricing applies
