# Pages: Startups / Education

Guides startups and education program pages that offer special pricing or benefits. Targets founders, early-stage teams, students, and educators. Common for SaaS, dev tools, and productivity apps.

**When invoking**: On **first use**, if helpful, open with 1–2 sentences on what this skill covers and why it matters, then provide the main output. On **subsequent use** or when the user asks to skip, go directly to the main output.

## Initial Assessment

**Check for product marketing context first:** If `.claude/product-marketing-context.md` or `.cursor/product-marketing-context.md` exists, read it for product, pricing, and eligibility.

Identify:
1. **Program type**: Startups, education, nonprofit, incubator
2. **Offer**: Discount, free tier, credits, extended trial
3. **Eligibility**: Criteria (revenue, team size, .edu, etc.)
4. **Primary goal**: Sign up, apply, contact

## Page Structure

| Section | Purpose |
|---------|---------|
| **Headline** | "Built for Startups" or "Free for Students" |
| **Value** | Why this program; what they get |
| **Eligibility** | Who qualifies; how to verify |
| **Offer** | Discount %, free months, credits |
| **Proof** | Startups/students who use us |
| **CTA** | Apply, get started, claim offer |

## Best Practices

### Eligibility

- **Clear criteria**: "Pre-seed to Series A" or ".edu email"
- **Verification**: Application, form, or self-serve
- **Abuse prevention**: Limit per company; revoke if ineligible

### Messaging

- **Social proof**: "X startups use [Product]"
- **Urgency**: Limited spots; apply by date (if applicable)

### Conversion

- **Follow-up**: Email sequence for applicants
- **Link to pricing**: Full pricing for reference

## Output Format
