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!

Best regards,
Dennis

Hi Dennis, 

Nice to meet you. Here is the link to the IBM Partner Plus, Build Partner Program. There, you can learn about how to join the program and how to receive cloud credits. I can connect you and the startup with someone on the IBM side who can walk you through the onboarding process. Could you please send me a direct message with the startup's contact information, including their headquarters location, so that I can provide them with the correct IBM contact?
