Who should apply — and who shouldn't
Apply if
- Your product relies heavily on video or image delivery and bandwidth costs are a major line item.
- You're under 4 years old with <$10M funding and want to avoid vendor lock-in with a single cloud provider.
- You need personalized migration support and API-first tooling without lengthy sales cycles.
- You're building for platforms like mobile, web, or OTT and need DRM and adaptive bitrate streaming.
Skip if
- Your company is older than 4 years or has raised $10M+ (ineligible).
- You have minimal media delivery needs or use a CDN that already covers your use case.
- You require credits for compute-heavy ML workloads or databases (Gumlet is media-specific).

Apply — strong program.
