Appwrite Startups Program
Some apply links may be affiliate. See our policy.
Twenty grand in Appwrite credits plus priority support for your backend infrastructure.
You get $20,000 in Appwrite Scale credits (valid 12 months) to cover your backend needs—databases, auth, storage, the works. Priority email support is included, which actually matters when you're shipping fast. The credits apply to Appwrite's managed cloud offering, not self-hosted. Eligibility is loose: founded within 10 years, have a working website, and at least two team members. Application is straightforward; they'll send you a redemption code if approved. One real constraint: credits expire after 12 months whether you use them or not, so plan your infrastructure spend accordingly.
