Who should apply — and who shouldn't
Apply if
- You're hiring contractors or employees in multiple countries and want to avoid setting up foreign entities or managing tax compliance manually.
- You have under $5M in funding and need to preserve runway while building a remote team across 2+ time zones.
- You're comparing RemotePass to Deel, Guidepoint, or Rippling and want a year-long discount to test the platform at lower cost.
- You plan to scale from contractors to full-time employees and want locked-in pricing for both stages.
Skip if
- You're hiring only domestic (single-country) employees and don't need multi-country compliance or currency management.
- You've already raised over $5M in funding and don't qualify for the program.
- You're already committed to a competitor (Deel, Guidepoint, Rippling) and switching costs outweigh the 12-month discount.

Where this programme wins and loses
What works
- No VC sponsor required Direct application; no need to find a partner or investor to vouch for you.
- Stacked discounts over 12 months Free month + 33% off for 9 months + 15% off payroll creates a long runway to test and scale without full pricing.
- Compliance automation at scale 120+ countries with automated tax withholding, contract storage, and legal compliance reduces manual overhead and legal risk.
- Multi-currency and prepaid cards Simplifies paying contractors globally without currency conversion headaches or multiple bank accounts.
- Bridges contractor-to-employee transition Discount applies to both contractor management and payroll, so you can scale hiring without switching platforms.
- Broad funding cap $5M cap is generous for early-stage; covers seed through most Series A rounds.
What doesn't
- Discount ends after 12 months After the program expires, you pay full price; no guarantee of renewal or extended discounts for loyal customers.
- Contractor discount (33%) is steeper than payroll (15%) If you transition to mostly full-time employees, your savings drop significantly in year 2.
- Requires active hiring to justify cost If you're not hiring contractors or employees within the first few months, the free month and discounts don't compound value.
The bottom line
RemotePass's Startup Program offers genuine, stacked savings (free month + 33% off + 15% off) with no sponsor requirement and broad eligibility (under $5M funding). For founders building remote teams, the compliance automation across 120+ countries alone justifies testing the platform at discounted rates; the year-long discount window gives you time to evaluate fit before paying full price.
