From startup to $9B

Today’s Daily Digest was crafted by Product Hunt and sponsored by our friends at Zendesk for Startups.

It wasn't that long ago that Zendesk was a startup. The company got its start in 2007 in a Copenhagen loft, armed with a mission to build software that would help other companies build a great customer experience through a simple set of support tools.

Now worth more than $9 billion the company's early years forged an identity that remains key to its culture today: Zendesk is still very much a startup at heart and wants to give back to this community. With customers ranging from Uber and Airbnb to Calm and Limebike, Zendesk has helped hyper-growth companies start-up and scale their customer support.

The challenge:

It can be challenging for startups to build a customer support function from the ground up, especially because time and resources are limited for young companies.

The solution:

6 free months of Zendesk products, plus:

• Exclusive access to a community of founders and partners
• Curated customer experience resources, office hours with Zendesk experts and events
• Try any number of Zendesk solutions to trial with 0 risk

Note: You must be a new customer, have fewer than 50 employees, and have raised venture funding up to Series A

Zendesk products include Support, Guide, Chat and Talk options. While customer preferences are constantly changing — and consumers expect to be able to interact with brands across many channels — this suite of products gives startups what they need to grow an omnichannel customer experience at-scale.

It is what it is 👁👄👁
