Next step
Recommended action
Cloudflare lists these criteria: founded within the last 10 years, funded up to Series B within the last 12 months, building a technology product, a live public website, an active LinkedIn, X or GitHub presence, no earlier acceptance into the programme, and a for-profit business email on your own domain. The same page also says the $10k tier needs no minimum funding and lists bootstrapped or self-funded startups for it, so if you are unfunded, confirm with Cloudflare how the funding line applies to you. Credits last one year. A valid payment method is required; usage beyond the available credits or product caps can be charged.
Curator note
What we found at the source
Rechecked 2026-10-11: $10K/$100K/$350K tiers and Workers AI/R2 caps still published. Credit validity is one year; a payment method is required and excess usage can be billed. The general funding criterion still conflicts with the bootstrapped $10K tier: confirm that point with the provider.
Caveat
Before you rely on it
The first path is $10K; higher tiers, product caps, dashboard visibility, and whether you were accepted into the programme before all matter. Credits expire after one year and excess usage can be billed.
