5 programs that put real money back in B2B founders' pockets (bookmark this):

1. AWS Activate
→ Up to $100K in AWS credits depending on your stage
→ If you're backed by a recognized VC or accelerator, you likely qualify already
→ Most founders get this passively and never claim it

2. Microsoft for Startups (Founders Hub)
→ Up to $150K in Azure credits + GitHub Copilot + OpenAI API access
→ No VC required. Pre-revenue is fine.
→ Takes 20 minutes to apply

3. Google for Startups
→ Up to $200K in Google Cloud credits
→ Includes Vertex AI, Maps API, and workspace tools
→ One of the most underused programs for B2B SaaS founders

4. NVIDIA Inception
→ $100K in AWS credits + GPU access + enterprise sales intros
→ Free to apply. Takes 10 minutes.
→ Especially relevant if you're building anything AI-adjacent

5. Stripe Atlas perks
→ Not just for incorporation- the partner perks stack is underrated
→ Credits from Notion, Linear, Brex, and 50+ other tools
→ Most founders set it up and never check the perks tab

Most founders leave $500K+ in free credits on the table because nobody told them to look.
