Resource catalog preview

Explore credits, compute, software perks and grants.

Start with a resource category below. Cloud and API credits cover specified services; they are not cash. Check the application rules, expiry dates and billing terms before relying on an offer.

AI/API credits

API

Access for coding, agents, and maintainer workflows.

Best when the project has a repo, demo, or clear AI/API usage plan.

Check API route ->

Cloud credits

Cloud

Credits for hosting and cloud services.

Best for AI apps, SaaS tools, hosted demos, and backend-heavy projects.

Check cloud route ->

Compute/GPU

GPU

Compute access for demos, inference, and AI workloads.

Best when there is a working demo, model workload, or concrete usage estimate.

Check compute route ->

Database/vector DB

Data

Storage, vectors, cache, and serverless data support.

Best for retrieval, geo data, agent memory, analytics, or data-heavy OSS tools.

  • Neon Open Source Program
  • Upstash Open Source
  • MongoDB / Pinecone startup programs
Check data route ->

OSS maintainer routes

OSS

Repo proof can unlock credits and product access.

Best for public repos with maintainer role, usage, stars, downloads, docs, or ecosystem value.

What the check returns

A shortlist with practical next steps.

1

Claim now

The “Claim now” label means lower-preparation options to check first. Confirm the provider rules before applying; it does not mean credits or funding have been awarded.

2

Prepare this week

Programs close enough to pursue after applicant facts, usage plan, billing, or proof cleanup.

3

Build proof first

Repo, demo, docs, public URL, maintainer proof, or usage evidence to unlock stronger routes.

4

Cash/public-goods programs stay visible, but do not block faster credits, compute, and SaaS routes.
