SOLIDWORKS for Startups program

SOLIDWORKS for Startups program (also known as 3DEXPERIENCE Works for Startups program) is for early- to mid-stage hardware startups.


To qualify for the Startup (Early-stage) program, your company must meet the following acceptance criteria. Your Company:


should not currently be a SOLIDWORKS customer

must or plan to design, build and sell a physical product

must have less than $1M in funding and revenue, and

If your company has more than $1M in Funding or Revenue, you will qualify for the Scale-Up program, which will give access to the 3DEXPERIENCE Works portfolio roles at heavily discounted prices. Please note that even for the Scale-Up program, you need to be under 5 years of age as a company.


IMPORTANT: We do not accept service providers, resellers, contractors or consulting companies. SOLIDWORKS reserves the right at any time during the Entrepreneur term to revoke access of the Entrepreneur entitlement by providing notice to you if we find that the information in your application is not true.
