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.
Up to 3 months of full API access, from initial testing through production.
You set a monthly tier per API at onboarding, before credits start running. The rate is locked in up front.
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 249 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.
Trial API access
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.
Free credits
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.
Full API 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.
Technical contact
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.
Tier-based pricing after
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.
Developer documentation
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.
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.

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.
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.
