Hello LiveKit Team,

I’m building a startup focused on AI-powered voice agents for businesses across multiple sectors.

Our current use cases include:

• Healthcare — hospital appointment booking and patient enquiries  
• Automobile — sales conversations, lead qualification, and test-drive booking  
• Real Estate — lead qualification and site-visit booking

We are building our real-time voice-agent infrastructure using LiveKit and plan to continue using LiveKit as we expand into additional verticals such as e-commerce, EdTech, and consumer services.

I recently came across the **LiveKit Startup Program** and would like to understand the application process and eligibility for our startup.

Could you please guide me regarding:

1. Eligibility criteria for the Startup Program
2. Application/onboarding procedure
3. Credits and other benefits available
4. Whether early-stage/pre-revenue startups are eligible
5. Whether I can schedule a short call with the LiveKit startup team to discuss our product and expected usage

I’d be happy to share our startup details, product, current usage, and roadmap if required.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Best regards,  
Lily  
Founder  
Quto AI

Hi Lily,

I think your questions would all be answered by our blog and landing page:

> **[Introducing the LiveKit Startup Program: Your whole stack, on us](https://livekit.com/blog/introducing-livekit-startups)**
>
> One application, one key, no accounts to juggle. $10,000 in LiveKit Cloud credits, a year of Cloud Scale, and inference credits to go with them.

> **[LiveKit Startup Program](https://livekit.com/startups)**
>
> The LiveKit Startup Program helps early-stage voice, video, and physical AI startups launch and scale with up to $23K in infrastructure and inference credits.

There is a form to fill in on the [startups](https://livekit.com/blog/introducing-livekit-startups) page - the program has been very popular so I’m afraid we aren’t able to offer calls prior to application.

If you had any other questions that aren’t covered above, please let me know and I’ll get you answers.
