Curator note
What we found at the source
Official GitHub for Startups page checked 2026-09-20 and re-verified 2026-09-26: $10,000 in flexible platform credits is unchanged, and the page states the credits are valid for up to 12 months from acceptance and that data residency is not supported.

Before you rely on it
Partner affiliation, outside funding, Enterprise status, payment method, and billing transition matter.
