Frequently asked

What founders ask before they spend an afternoon applying.

Ask us something else

It varies per programme, which is why every card shows its own gate. The recurring conditions are a funding ceiling, a company-age limit, and a referral from an approved VC or accelerator. AI Platform Credits programmes are aimed at teams building with LLMs, inference, or model training.

Usually yes — they are separate vendors with separate criteria, and stacking cloud, AI and SaaS credits is the normal outcome for a funded startup. What you cannot usually do is claim the same vendor twice, or claim after you have already been a paying customer.

You land on standard list pricing for whatever usage you have by then, which is frequently the largest bill the company has ever had. Treat a credit as a runway extension with a known end date, not as a discount.

Because the vendor does not publish one. 54 of 80 ai platform credits programmes state a figure; the rest are listed without one rather than with a number we made up.
