About the program
We’ve been where you are
GitBook was built to solve a real problem — keeping knowledge accessible as teams grow and move fast.
We know what it’s like to juggle a dozen priorities at once, to ship docs as an afterthought, and to watch internal knowledge quietly disappear as headcount scales.
Documentation shouldn’t be the thing that slows you down. With the right foundation in place early, it becomes one of your strongest assets — for your team, your users, and the investors you’ll pitch next year.
That’s why we created this program: to make sure great documentation isn’t a luxury that only well-resourced teams can afford.
We’re rooting for you.
We’re not here to write corporate commandments. GitBook isn’t built on slogans or posters — it’s built on the way we work every day: writing things down, questioning assumptions, and shipping improvements that make knowledge easier to trust.
We believe teams do their best work when their thinking is clear, shared, and easy to find. That’s why we focus on simplicity, thoughtful craft, and meaningful transparency. Not as branding — but because they help people make better decisions.
We move fast, but with intention. We ship small, steady improvements. We use AI to amplify good judgment, not replace it. And we care about the details: the structure of a page, the clarity of a sentence, the feedback that unblocks someone else tomorrow.
GitBook is our product, but it’s also our own way of working made visible: a belief that documentation, done right, quietly powers everything a team builds.

FAQs
Who is eligible for the GitBook Startups Program?
To qualify, your startup must have been founded less than 2 years ago, raised no more than $2M USD in total funding, and not be on any of GitBook’s paid plans. If you meet all three criteria, you can apply directly on the page.
What do I get with the program, and how long does it last?
You get 6 months of free access to GitBook’s full platform, dedicated support (bypassing the standard queue), a documentation playbook with practical guides for structuring developer docs, APIs, and internal knowledge bases, and a startup spotlight to help amplify your story to developer audiences.
What happens after the 6 months of free access?
The program gives you a strong foundation to scale your documentation from day one. After the free period, you can transition to one of GitBook’s paid plans. The goal is that by then, your docs will already be set up for growth — so the investment pays for itself as your team, users, and investor conversations evolve.
