ElevenLabs Grants FAQ
Monetized product use case
- The goal of the ElevenLabs Grants is to help new and nascent products and business models powered by AI voices take off without too much start up cost. As such, only applications with a business or monetization strategy should apply. Only applications with valid business emails will be considered.
No short-term or one-off projects
- Grants will only be awarded to companies seeking to build products they intend to take to market for the long term. One-off projects and campaigns will not be considered.
Startups and small companies only
- The goal of the ElevenLabs Grants is to help new and nascent products and business models powered by AI voices take off without too much start up cost. As such, only applications with a business or monetization strategy should apply. Only applications with valid business emails will be considered.
One application per company
- Each company can only submit one application. If you have multiple companies (rock on!) you can submit one application for each company. Existing enterprise customers are not eligible for grants.
ElevenLabs' mission is to make on-demand multilingual audio support a reality and we are committed to helping entrepreneurs and companies get projects off the ground. We have developed a Grants program to help companies bring voice to their projects. Grants offer 11M text characters of content per month for the first 3 months to promising and innovative projects and teams. After the grant ends, recipients can either convert their grant plans to an enterprise plan at a significant discount, switch to any of our standard plans, or cancel their plan.
The Grants program is open for the next 6 months but applications are on a rolling basis.
Ideally after three months you'll be launching a product that goes to the moon! After your grant period is over, your plan will automatically convert to a Business plan at a cost of $1320 per month. You can also reach out to a team member anytime to help figure out a long term plan for your successful new product. However, not all projects go as planned so if after three months, your product doesn't take off, you'll have full flexibility to cancel your plan or continue on a smaller plan.
You can apply by clicking the “Apply Now” button above or by going to our Grant Application Page: https://elevenlabs.io/grants-application. Only one application per company is allowed.
We'll notify you of the outcome via email within 1 week of your application. If you're awarded a Grant, the 3 month Grant plan will immediately start on the email address you provided during the application process. You can start to use your Grant plan immediately upon award.
The ElevenLabs Grants program is open to all startups or companies with less than 25 employees at the time of receiving the Grant. Applicants will need to provide a business email to complete the application and to activate the Grant. Companies are only eligible to apply once for a Grant. If awarded a Grant, the company must agree to display “ElevenLabs Grants” logo at the bottom of their website. Existing enterprise customers are not eligible to apply for Grants.
Unfortunately we can't organize calls with every applicant but we guarantee that your application will be looked at carefully. Someone on the team may reach out to you if we have additional questions about your application.
