Infobip Startup Tribe is a bespoke program aimed at finding and bringing together the world’s most innovative startups to help fast-track their growth and development.
Qualifying startups will be able to apply for substantial credit allowances on Infobip’s products and services worth up to $60,000 that will enable them to grow their customer base through omnichannel communication. Further on, Infobip plans to provide hands-on support in the sales and product fields though Infobip’s vast global teams. The Infobip Startup Tribe will also have at their disposal the resources of Infobip’s 65+ global offices, wherever available, and a special relationship with Infobip Shift – the newly acquired leading developer conference.
“With this valuable program, Infobip shows it is ready to invest in the community beyond what a more traditional tech company would do, not only through capital and credits, but through all other resources at its disposal, its global presence and network. The tech sector is an exciting game-changer and we want to boost local and regional ecosystems throughout the world. Working with startups allows us to access new ideas, ways of thinking and approaches that enable companies to better leverage their own resources, assets and technology for greater impact. I am excited to have joined Infobip as it builds out its developer and startup organization and look forward to bringing value through startup collaboration.” – says Nikola Pavesic.
