ElevenLabs Startup Grants

The ElevenLabs Startup Grants program is an in-kind funding initiative administered by ElevenLabs that provides early-stage companies with free API access to premium text-to-speech and voice artificial intelligence models. Eligible applicants must have fewer than twenty-five employees and under $5 million in venture funding to qualify for the rolling application process, which yields decisions within one week. Selected participants receive zero-equity grants valued at up to $4,000 in API credits, granting twelve months of platform access and thirty-three million text characters. The initiative has supported numerous emerging technology companies, including recent demo day participants such as corporate event planning platform Nowadays, mobile artificial intelligence developer Mirlo, and medical technology firm InsightHealth. This resource specifically targets early-stage founders and developer teams building audio-native commercial products, conversational agents, and voice-powered applications without incurring upfront infrastructure costs.
