Founders Program
Europe’s answer to Slack, Jira and Zoom. Free for a year.
Twelve modules in one workspace — chat, tasks, docs, drive, calls, calendar, boards, email, tables, automation and AI. We’re giving ten startups the whole thing on Polybase Cloud for twelve months.

Your data can sit in Europe and still answer to America.
Slack, Teams, Zoom and Jira are operated by US companies. Under 18 U.S.C. § 2713, a provider subject to US jurisdiction must hand over customer data in its possession, custody or control when served with valid legal process — no matter where that data is stored.
An EU data centre changes the geography, not the jurisdiction. Polybase Cloud runs on EU infrastructure and is operated by a European company that statute doesn’t reach.

How it runs
Polybase Cloud. Nothing to set up.
This program runs on Polybase Cloud, hosted on EU infrastructure. You sign in and the workspace is ready — no servers, no Docker, no DevOps time you don’t have.
Private cloud and self-hosted deployments are available on paid plans, and you can move onto them later without rebuilding.
- Ready the same day you’re approved
- No infrastructure to manage
- Updates handled for you
- TLS 1.3 in transit
- Migration help for your channels and files
What the year is worth
