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. SaaS Startup Programs programmes are aimed at early-stage startups assembling their software stack.
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. 45 of 120 saas startup programs programmes state a figure; the rest are listed without one rather than with a number we made up.
