Hi IBM Community,

We're an IBM Cloud Partner (Aximsoft), and we're looking to onboard one of our portfolio startups to the Startup with IBM Program.

Could you please guide us on the correct process to apply for the program and receive IBM Cloud credits?
Is there an official link, form, or partner-led workflow to follow?

We want to ensure the startup is properly enrolled and receives the credits through our partnership.

Thanks in advance for your support!

To onboard your startup to the Startup with IBM program and ensure they receive IBM Cloud credits through your partnership, please follow these steps:

1. Have the startup apply via the official form:
    https://orders.cloud.ibm.com/IBMGEP-application/

2. Make sure they include your Partner Name or Partner ID in the form to link the application to your partnership.

3. Once submitted, IBM will review eligibility. If approved, credits will be applied to the startup's IBM Cloud account.

Let us know if you need help during the process!

If you're applying to the Startup with IBM program, make sure your startup meets their eligibility criteria like being less than 5 years old and having a working product or service. Also, having a clear use case for IBM Cloud helps a lot during the application review.
