How to apply for Apollo for Startups

- Apply or Enroll
Visit Apollo for Startups landing page, complete the application form, or enroll via an Apollo partner if referred.

Who should apply — and who shouldn't
Apply if
- You're building a B2B sales or marketing function and need verified contact data at scale (210M+ records).
- Your team is ≤20 people and you want to avoid vendor lock-in risk by testing Apollo before full-price commitment.
- You value hands-on onboarding; a dedicated partnership manager accelerates time-to-first-campaign.
- You plan to run email sequences, lead scoring, and CRM workflows and want integrated automation tools.
Skip if
- Your startup is already an Apollo customer or has used Apollo in the past 12 months (ineligible).
- You have >20 employees; you'll need to negotiate enterprise terms separately.
- You operate primarily in B2C or need consumer contact data; Apollo's strength is B2B business intelligence.
