Adobe has launched Adobe for Startups, a programme that gives eligible early-stage companies 12 months of free access to Adobe Firefly Pro Plus, Acrobat Studio (including Adobe Express Premium) and Semrush.
The programme is open to startups founded within the last five years that have raised less than $15 million in funding. Eligible founders can apply on the Adobe for Startups page, and Adobe will verify eligibility as part of the application process.
What the programme includes
- Adobe Firefly Pro Plus: access to Adobe’s commercially safe AI models and partner models for image, video and audio creation, plus Photoshop on the web and mobile.
- Acrobat Studio: PDF tools, AI Assistant and Adobe Express in one package, for editing documents, building presentations and collecting signatures.
- Adobe Express Premium: quick content creation for social posts, marketing material and brand assets using templates.
- Semrush: marketing and search intelligence to track how a brand appears across traditional and AI-powered search.
Beyond software access, Adobe says the programme will include learning sessions with Adobe experts, a founder community, and workshops and events. On December 3, it will host a hands-on “Brand on Demand” workshop in collaboration with Artist and the Machine, where founders can create a week’s worth of on-brand marketing content using Adobe’s AI tools.
Adobe announced the programme on its official blog.
