### Infobip Startup Tribe

Infobip Startup Tribe is our global program designed to support startups with resources, guidance, and access to Infobip’s communication infrastructure.&#x20;

This initiative by Infobip operates as a [perk program](https://www.infobip.com/startups/) designed to support startups globally. We partner with ambitious teams building the next generation of products and help them scale through:&#x20;

* **Up to $60,000 in Infobip product credits**, along with dedicated technical support,&#x20;
* **Tickets and showcasing opportunities** at  [Infobip Shift Conference ](https://shift.infobip.com/)and other major startup events,&#x20;
* **Direct access to our partner network**, including global and local VC funds, accelerators, and expert advisors.&#x20;

### Why do we do this?&#x20;

Startups move fast and build boldly. By supporting them early, **we provide the communication tools** they need to scale while embedding Infobip technology into the most exciting new products across fintech, AI, e-commerce, healthtech, and more.&#x20;

This is more than just a perk program - **it’s a strategic gateway into the innovation ecosystem**. Every successful startup we help scale becomes a potential long-term user, partner, or customer.&#x20;

### How can employees contribute as Bippers?&#x20;
