We view GitBook as a growth tool. If our docs are easy to use, our users will be successful and adopt our products. By making it simple for developers to get their first ‘aha!’ moment, GitBook helps us grow the Roboflow community much faster.

About the program

We've been where you are

GitBook was built to solve a real problem — keeping knowledge accessible as teams grow and move fast.


We know what it's like to juggle a dozen priorities at once, to ship docs as an afterthought, and to watch internal knowledge quietly disappear as headcount scales.


Documentation shouldn't be the thing that slows you down. With the right foundation in place early, it becomes one of your strongest assets — for your team, your users, and the investors you'll pitch next year.


That's why we created this program: to make sure great documentation isn't a luxury that only well-resourced teams can afford.

We're rooting for you.

We’re not here to write corporate commandments. GitBook isn’t built on slogans or posters — it’s built on the way we work every day: writing things down, questioning assumptions, and shipping improvements that make knowledge easier to trust.

We believe teams do their best work when their thinking is clear, shared, and easy to find. That’s why we focus on simplicity, thoughtful craft, and meaningful transparency. Not as branding — but because they help people make better decisions.

We move fast, but with intention. We ship small, steady improvements. We use AI to amplify good judgment, not replace it. And we care about the details: the structure of a page, the clarity of a sentence, the feedback that unblocks someone else tomorrow.

GitBook is our product, but it’s also our own way of working made visible: a belief that documentation, done right, quietly powers everything a team builds.
