How to Get Startup Credits

Step-by-Step Process

1

Choose Your Credits

Browse our verified list and select the credit programs that match your startup's needs and stage.

2

Check Eligibility

Review the eligibility requirements for each program. Most require incorporation and some funding history.

3

Prepare Documentation

Gather required documents: incorporation papers, pitch deck, financial statements, and team information.

4

Apply Strategically

Apply to multiple programs simultaneously. Don't wait - many have limited spots and first-come basis.

5

Follow Up & Use

Track applications, follow up on pending requests, and make sure to use credits before they expire.

Pro Tips for Success

Join accelerators/incubators for easier access to top-tier programs
Have a clear, compelling pitch deck ready before applying
Track expiration dates and usage to maximize value
Stack multiple programs - you can often qualify for several
Network with other founders who've successfully applied

💡 A Helpful Tip

Applying right after raising funding or joining an accelerator can be a good move. Programs often see this as positive validation for your startup.
