Cartesia Startup Grants

Grant winners receive 4 months of free access to our Scale tier, which includes 8 million characters per month. Recipients agree to collaborate with Cartesia on a customer story, share their logo for marketing purposes, and display Cartesia's logo in their marketing materials.

These grants support early-stage startups developing voice AI products by reducing their initial costs. To be eligible, companies must have fewer than 20 employees and demonstrate a sustainable, long-term business model. One-time projects and existing Enterprise customers will not be considered.

Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis and we aim to get back to candidates in 1-2 business days.

Once your grant period concludes, your account will be charged $299 per month to continue on the Scale plan. We hope your product sees great success and momentum, in which case our team is happy to chat about tailored enterprise plans. If things don't go as planned, you have the flexibility to cancel or switch to a lower volume plan.

You can enable overage which will allow you to use over 8 million characters per month and bill you on a pay-as-you-go basis. If you exceed 50 million during any month, you qualify for an enterprise plan and can contact support@cartesia.ai for discounted rates.
