extra crunch partner perk: get 6 months free of zendesk support and sales crm

We are pleased to announce an update to the Extra Crunch Partner Perk offered through Zendesk. Effective immediately, new annual and two-year Extra Crunch members who qualify as startups can receive six months of complimentary access to both Zendesk Suite and Zendesk Sales CRM. Additionally, eligible startups will benefit from a 15% discount on their first annual subscription, along with access to onboarding assistance, learning resources, and our dedicated community.

Here’s a summary of the program’s details.

Zendesk is a customer-focused CRM provider, offering solutions for support, sales, and overall customer engagement designed to strengthen customer relationships. This special offer is exclusively for startups that are new to the Zendesk platform, have a team size of under 100 employees, and have secured funding but have not completed a Series B funding round.

The Extra Crunch Zendesk Partner Perk covers subscription costs for a period of six months, after which standard payment terms will apply. Any reduction in your Zendesk subscription level will result in the cancellation of the promotional benefits, so please consult with Zendesk directly before making any changes (startups@zendesk.com). Certain add-ons, such as Zendesk Talk and Zendesk Sell minutes, are not included in the offer. A comprehensive list of included features can be found here.
