daily.dev for Startups
daily.dev for Startups is a paid plan for founders whose users are developers. It gives your startup a company page on daily.dev, tells you every week what developers in your space read, and lets the coding agent you already use publish and promote your posts, so developer distribution keeps running while you build.
A plan belongs to a Squad. A Squad admin buys it, and the Squad becomes your company page. Plans are self-serve at daily.dev/startups.
Who it is for
Any product whose users are developers: a devtool, an API, an SDK, a CLI, infrastructure, an open source project, or an AI or agent tool. It works the same for a solo founder and for a small team.
What a plan adds to your Squad
| Free Squad | Squad on a Startups plan | |
|---|---|---|
| Squads directory and search | Once it meets the requirements for public Squads | Listed from day one |
| Google and AI answers | The page can be indexed once the Squad has at least 10 members | Indexed from day one |
| Website link and a product on the page | ❌ | ✅ |
| Weekly intel on your topics | ❌ | ✅ |
| Post and boost from your agent, through the API and MCP server | ❌ | ✅ |
| Boost credits every month, in the Squad's wallet | ❌ | ✅ |
| Paid seats for the people who run the page | ❌ | ✅ |
In more detail:
- A company page. Your Squad, with your name, logo, description, a link to your site and your product. Developers follow it, and your posts reach the feeds of developers who follow your topics.
- Weekly intel. A report every Monday on what developers read and discuss in the topics you choose: which topics grow, which formats, titles and publish times work. See Weekly intel.
- Your agent runs it. Paid seat holders can publish to the page, boost posts, manage the page and read analytics from Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or any MCP client. See Manage your Squad with AI.
- Agent skills. Skills that turn the weekly intel into post ideas, review a draft before you publish, improve your profile and send you a daily report. See Agent skills for Startups.
- Boost credits. Every month your plan adds credits to the Squad's wallet, to spend on boosting your posts and your page. See Plans and boost credits.
- Analytics. How your page and every post perform: impressions, upvotes and comments. See Post and Squad analytics.

How it works, week to week
- Insights. Your agent reads the weekly intel: what developers in your space read this week.
- Content. It suggests an angle from what your team recently built, fixed or learned, and checks your draft against what works on daily.dev.
- Distribution. You publish to your company page, and boost the posts that are already doing well with your monthly credits.
- Performance. It reports back on what developers read, upvoted and discussed.
You stay in the tool you already work in. Nothing is published or saved without your approval.
