Worth knowing
- The baseline is six months; one- or two-year terms require qualifying institutional partnerships.
- The page welcomes bootstrapped teams in its FAQ but its form disclaimer mentions outside funding; confirm your route before applying.
- Agent seats vary by funding profile and partner. No upfront card is required; select a paid plan to continue after the trial.
