Company / Initiatives / Startup Program
Build on enterprise data infrastructure. Without the enterprise contract.
Most early-stage companies cannot access the data their enterprise competitors run on. The Startup Program changes that: full API access, full attribute depth, and the same data layer, without enterprise pricing.
Apply to the program
View data sample
Free credits
30,000 credits
Up to 3 months of full API access, from initial testing through production.
Pricing after
Tier-based
You set a monthly tier per API at onboarding, before credits start running. The rate is locked in up front.
Time to production
A few weeks
From accepted application to live integration. No procurement cycle, no legal review queue.
Who it's for
Built for startups that need company data as infrastructure.
Not for teams that want to look up a few companies. For teams building products where company intelligence is a core input: enrichment, scoring, discovery, monitoring.
You're building a product on top of company data
Your product enriches records, scores companies, discovers suppliers, or monitors vendor risk. Veridion is the data layer underneath. The program exists so the data bill does not outrun your runway.
You have a use case and early traction
The program works best for teams with a defined use case and early signal: a prototype, a pilot, or first users. Accepted teams join a 1 year program, with the first 3 months covered by free credits to get up and running.
You need the real depth, not a simplified tier
Startups building serious data products cannot prototype on a stripped-down dataset and ship on the real one. The program gives you the same 461 attributes, same weekly refresh, same APIs as enterprise.
You're operating across geographies or verticals
Fintech, insurtech, SaaS, procuretech: wherever company intelligence is part of the product. Coverage spans 250 countries, including the SMB long tail that traditional bureau sources miss.
What's in the program
Every part of the program, in detail.
Full API access from day one, free credits for the first months, and tier-based pricing that scales with your stage—not your risk.
Before you apply
Trial API access
Free trial
Capped calls
Full API access on real data, with capped calls. Try Match & Enrich and the Search API against your actual use case before committing to the program. No account required to start.
Program benefit
Free credits
30,000 credits
Up to 3 months
30,000 API credits, valid for up to 3 months. Covers full access to Match & Enrich and the Search API. No call limits, no feature restrictions. Use it for testing, integration, early production, or all three. Unused balance carries over until expiry.
Match & Enrich + Search API
Full API access
2 APIs
Full production access
The same two endpoints enterprise teams use in production. Match & Enrich resolves any company input to a full profile in ~1.5s. The Search API queries across the full company graph by industry, product, geography, size, and keywords. No sandboxed subset. The live graph from day one.
Onboarding and ongoing
Technical contact
30 min
First call, live sample
A technical contact is available throughout the program. The onboarding call is technical: bring a dataset, a schema, a use case. We run a live sample during the call, identify gaps, and define the integration path before you write a line of code.
Post-credits
Tier-based pricing after
Scales
With your usage
When credits run out, you move to a pricing model scoped to your actual usage. Pricing stays proportional to what you are shipping, not what enterprise customers pay for volume they do not need.
Self-serve
Developer documentation
Docs
Plus Playground
Full API docs, integration guides, sample datasets for every solution vertical, and a playground for testing queries without writing code. Most accepted startups reach production within a few weeks without hand-holding beyond the first call.
What startups build
How startup teams use Veridion data in production.
From fintech lenders scoring applicants in minutes to insurtech platforms closing underwriting gaps—how startups turn company data into competitive edge.
Fintech
SaaS / CRM
Procuretech
Insurtech
Lend, invest, and underwrite on complete company records.
Business lending platforms use Match & Enrich to resolve applicant details into a full firmographic profile covering revenue estimate, industry classification, employee count, and corporate structure, before a human reviews the file. Decisions get faster. Mispricings get caught earlier.
Investment and wealth-management platforms use the same data to assess business activity, digital footprint, and growth signals before they surface in a quarterly report.

Eligibility
Who qualifies.
Eligibility is straightforward. If you're on the fence, book a scoping call. The criteria are a starting point, not a hard gate.
The criteria
Incorporated no more than 5 years ago
Revenue under $1M
Team size under 20
Not a direct competitor to Veridion
Building a data-powered product, not just running internal analytics
Fintech, SaaS, insurtech, procuretech, or an adjacent vertical
Rolling applications
No cohort windows or deadlines. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis, and most teams hear back within a week. Bring a brief description of the use case and a rough estimate of monthly API volume; it helps us scope the right offer from the start.
Submit your application
Not sure if you qualify?
Book the scoping call first. The eligibility criteria are a filter, not a wall. If your use case is a strong fit, the criteria are the starting point for a conversation, not a rejection reason.

FAQ
Questions about the program.
What is the difference between the Startup Program and a standard API contract?
Standard contracts are sized for enterprise procurement: annual terms, volume commitments, multi-team onboarding. The Startup Program gives you the same data access with a different commercial structure: 30,000 free credits, tier-based pricing after, and a technical contact available throughout. The API endpoints and data quality are identical.
Can we use the credits for production traffic, or only for testing?
Both. There is no distinction between test and production calls under the credits. They cover everything. The intent is for you to go from zero to a live product within the credit window. If that happens faster than 3 months, the remaining balance carries over until expiry.
What happens when the 30,000 credits run out?
You move to the monthly tier agreed during the onboarding call. There is no service interruption. The post-credit rate is negotiated before you start, so the first paid month brings no surprises.
What does the 1 year program commitment mean?
Accepted startups join a 1 year program. The first 3 months run on 30,000 free credits, covering integration, testing, and early production. After that, you move to a monthly tier for each API for the remaining months of the program. The tier is agreed during the onboarding call, before credits start running.
How long does the application process take?
Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis, and most teams hear back within a week. After acceptance, the scoping call is typically scheduled within a few days. From accepted application to API tokens in your environment is usually two to three weeks, depending on integration complexity.
Do we need to be based in the EU?
No. The program is open globally. Pricing is denominated in euros, but we work with startups across all geographies. The data covers 250 countries, so coverage is not a limiting factor for most use cases regardless of where you are based.
What if we grow past the eligibility thresholds during the program?
The eligibility criteria apply at the point of application. If you scale past them during the program, that is the intended outcome. It just means you transition to a standard commercial arrangement sooner. The post-credit pricing negotiated at onboarding bridges this transition cleanly.
Is the data GDPR compliant?
Yes. Veridion covers companies, not individuals. Sourcing is robots.txt-compliant, no personal data is processed, and every attribute traces back to a verifiable source signal. Confidence scores and provenance are exposed on every field, which also makes your own regulatory reviews straightforward.
