About this Deal

Fathom is an AI meeting notetaker. Its Qualified Portfolio Partner Program gives free time on paid plans to startups backed by one of roughly 34 named VC firms and accelerators, including Y Combinator, a16z speedrun, TinySeed, Susa Ventures, Underscore VC and Village Global. The standard deal, stated inside the redemption form itself, is 1 year free of the Business plan for companies with fewer than 10 full-time employees, 3 months free for companies with more than 10, plus 25 percent off in perpetuity after the free period. The widely quoted "up to 2 years free" applies only to Y Combinator companies in the 3 most recent batches, who must mark the deal in Bookface first; the numeric value shown here is the conservative floor of 2 seats at Fathom's listed $25/user/month annual Business rate for 12 months, and it scales with headcount.
