"Intercom's startup program is a game-changer for early-stage companies. Its customer service platform has powerful AI capabilities that let us scale up with demand, and delight our customers by delivering fast, proactive, and accurate support."

Bobby Pinero
CEO and Co-Founder at Equals
 

“As a startup - every. customer. matters. When we had 10 customers, Intercom helped us deliver personal support. When we scaled to 1,000s of customers, Fin AI helped us delight them as if we still had 10 customers! Their startup program made picking them even more of a no-brainer.”

Filip Mark
Chief Growth Officer
 

“Intercom allowed us to provide great customer outcomes at scale. With average weekly volumes of 3000+ we knew we needed a system that allowed us to speak to multiple customers concurrently.”
