## Details

## Overview

[Sentry for Startups](https://sentry.io/for/startups/) is Sentry's program for early-stage teams. The program summary states: "Get up to $5,000 in credits and priority support." The credits are intended to let accepted startups try everything Sentry offers — error monitoring plus tracing, logs, session replay, user feedback and AI-powered bug fixing. Sentry notes that "Credits expire after one year of joining the program."

## Program Credits & Benefits

- **$5,000 in credits:** "so you can try everything Sentry has to offer."
- **Priority support** alongside the credits.
- **Expiration:** "Credits expire after one year of joining the program."
- **Swag:** Sentry swag is listed among the program benefits.
- **Social proof:** Sentry states that hundreds of YC companies and teams at companies such as Anthropic, Cloudflare, Riot Games, Instacart, Vercel, GitHub, Duolingo and Cursor use the product.

## Eligibility

The program page invites founders who are "building something cool" to apply and asks applicants to describe what they are building. The application page lists three criteria: "Founded in the last 2 years", "Raised less than $5M in venture capital" and "New to paying for Sentry". YC and a16z speedrun founders have a separate deal, but "they don't stack".

## How to Apply

1. Open the application form at sentry.io/for/startups/apply.
2. Describe what you are building and submit the form.
3. Program questions can be raised through the contact information listed on the startups page (presented via its interactive terminal interface).

Sentry's page describes the intent plainly: "So let us know what you're building and we'll hook you up with a bunch of Sentry credit, help you get up and running."
