Up to $100K in free Vultr credits for Series A–E startups, plus 35% long-term discounts and a dedicated account manager.

Vultr's VIP program hands out up to $100K in credits to funded startups building cloud-native or AI infrastructure. You get the credits upfront for migration, then lock in up to 35% discounts on ongoing spend. The package includes a dedicated account manager, architecture reviews, and executive sponsorship—useful if you need someone to vouch for you in the room. Credits are real money off your bill; they don't expire during the program term. The catch: you need Series A funding or later to qualify, and Vultr will want proof of traction and a credible roadmap. Best for startups that are already committed to Vultr's stack and need runway relief on infrastructure costs.
