20% off Qdrant Cloud for a year, plus direct engineer access and partner discounts.

If you're building with vector databases, Qdrant cuts your Cloud bill by 20% for 12 months. You get direct access to their engineering team for technical guidance—not just docs, actual people—plus discounts from Hugging Face, LlamaIndex, and Airbyte. The catch: you need to be pre-seed to Series A and demonstrably AI-focused (not just adding embeddings to an existing product). They'll also feature you in their community channels if you're willing to do a case study or webinar. Useful if vector search is core to your stack and you want to reduce early infrastructure spend without equity dilution.
