Scaleway Startup Program for NVIDIA Inception Members
Some apply links may be affiliate. See our policy.
Up to €42K in Scaleway credits for AI startups already in NVIDIA Inception.
If you're in NVIDIA Inception, Scaleway will give you cloud credits—€700 to €42K depending on your tier—specifically for GPU workloads on their infrastructure. You get access to their NVIDIA-optimized instances and some light business development support. The credits are real money off your bill, no equity attached. The catch: you have to already be accepted into NVIDIA Inception first, which means this isn't a standalone program. Credits typically expire within 12 months, so you need to actually use them. Best for AI teams already deep in the NVIDIA ecosystem who need compute credits to scale training or inference workloads.
