Up to $500 in video credits plus free analytics and expert support for streaming startups.

You get a minimum of $500 in Mux credits to spend on encoding, storage, and delivery for live or on-demand video. That includes free access to Mux Data (their analytics platform) and onboarding support from their team—sometimes including the founders themselves if you're a fit. The credits cover the core infrastructure costs; the analytics piece is genuinely useful for understanding viewer behavior without extra spend. Main catch: you need to be pre-Series A or early Series A, and they're selective about what counts as a "startup." Best for founders building video-first products who need to prove unit economics before committing to a long-term vendor contract.
