How to apply for Scaleway Startup Program for NVIDIA Inception Members
- Confirm NVIDIA Inception membership
Verify your startup is active in the NVIDIA Inception program; you'll need your member ID or company verification.
- Apply via Scaleway startup portal
Visit Scaleway's startup or partner program page and select the NVIDIA Inception track; provide company info, use case, and Inception member ID.
- Await approval and credit allocation
Scaleway reviews applications within 5–10 business days; credit tier is assigned based on stage, team, and GPU workload intensity.
- Activate credits and deploy
Once approved, credits appear in your Scaleway account; begin provisioning GPU instances, storage, and bandwidth immediately.
Pro tip: Pair these credits with Scaleway's reserved instance discounts for non-GPU workloads (databases, storage) to extend your runway further; GPU credits are best used for training and inference bursts, not baseline compute.
€42K in GPU credits + NVIDIA ecosystem access—the fastest path for AI startups to scale inference and training without burning cash on compute.SaaSTweaks editorial
Who should apply — and who shouldn't
Apply if
- You're already in NVIDIA Inception and need immediate GPU capacity for training or inference without upfront spend.
- Your workload is GPU-heavy (LLMs, computer vision, generative AI) and you want to avoid AWS/GCP lock-in early.
- You're based in or serving EU/EMEA customers and prefer a European cloud provider with low-latency access.
- You want to combine credits with business development support and co-marketing opportunities within the NVIDIA ecosystem.
Skip if
- You're not yet an NVIDIA Inception member; you'll need to apply and be accepted first (separate process, 2–4 weeks).
- Your primary workload is non-GPU (web apps, databases, static hosting); credits are optimized for GPU and may be underutilized.
- You need multi-region or multi-cloud flexibility; Scaleway's footprint is smaller than AWS/Azure/GCP, limiting geographic options.

Final verdict
Apply — strong program.
This is a high-value, no-strings-attached credit offer for founders already in Inception. The €42K ceiling is substantial for early-stage AI workloads, and the 12-month window is reasonable. The only friction is Inception membership, which is a separate gate—but if you're already in, this is a clear win.

Who's eligible?
Active members of the NVIDIA Inception program. You must provide your Inception member ID during application. Non-members can apply to Inception separately, but that's a distinct process.

Do I need a VC sponsor?
No. NVIDIA Inception membership is sufficient; no corporate sponsor or investor letter is required.
What happens when credits run out?
You transition to pay-as-you-go pricing at Scaleway's standard rates. There is no automatic renewal; you must reapply the following year if eligible.
Can I combine with other programs?
Scaleway credits are exclusive to this partnership. You cannot stack them with other Scaleway promotions, but you can use them alongside non-Scaleway services.
