Today’s Daily Digest was crafted by Product Hunt and sponsored by our friends at Zendesk.

It wasn't that long ago that Zendesk was a startup. The company got its start in 2007 in a Copenhagen loft, armed with a mission to build software that would help other companies build a great customer experience through a simple set of support tools. 💯

Zendesk is now worth $8.9 billion, but the company's early years forged an identity that remains key to its culture today: Zendesk is still very much a startup at heart and wants to give back to this community.

The challenge

It can be challenging for startups to build a customer support function from the ground up, especially because time and resources are limited for young companies. 🛠

The solution: Qualifying startups can get two seats of the Zendesk Suite, free for a full year. Note: You must be a new customer, have fewer than 100 employees, and have no more than Series B funding.

The details

Zendesk Suite includes:

• Support 🙌
• Guide 👀
• Chat 💬
• Talk 🗣

While customer preferences are constantly changing — and consumers expect to be able to interact with brands across many channels — this suite of products gives startups what they need to grow an omnichannel customer experience at-scale.
