Who should apply — and who shouldn't
Apply if
- You're a seed or Series A startup needing immediate compute/storage cost relief.

Skip if
- Your infrastructure needs are minimal or you're already profitable with low cloud spend.
- You require credits from a hyperscaler (AWS, GCP, Azure) for broader ecosystem compatibility.
