    You can apply for the Startup with IBM program, which offers up to $120,000 in IBM Cloud credits over a year. These credits can be used for watsonx.ai, machine learning, and other infrastructure services.


    Quick Details:

    • Builder Level: $1,000/month for 12 months (for startups < 5 years old and < $1M revenue).
    • Premium Level: $10,000/month for 12 months (typically requires affiliation with a VC, accelerator, or incubator).
    • Application Link: https://orders.cloud.ibm.com/IBMGEP-application/


    Make sure you have a functional website and use a professional business email address for the application to improve your chances of approval.

    Hi @Oliver Stone

    Could you please share the link to the program details? (Your link redirects to a IBM Cloud account access/creation)


    Thank you very much,

    António Lima

    Hmm, when I click that link, it just asks me to log in or create a new account, even if I'm already logged in.

    Then, when I click continue to console, I land here (below), which is different from what you're describing
