Thanks for that. But the program costs $5,900 program and I am not really sure if that's worth it.

Sign up for Brex. Or use Stripe Atlas to create your company.
You can also apply to aws activate. They will be glad to give you credits if you make a solid case that you'll end up using aws a bunch.

AWS Activate is designed for startups in select accelerators, incubators, Seed/VC Funds, and other startup-enabling organizations.
I have looked into Stripe Atlas but it has a bit of complications regarding Double Taxation for Indian startups. I am just a guy working alone on this project so I don't want to deal with those tax related issues.
Will checkout Brex. Thanks

In most cases startups utilize AWS and GCP and they are generally really good, but both DO's Hatch and IBM a lot of people are missing out.

Thank you for mentioning the IBM plan.
How hard was it to move from the Builder to the Premium plan? It looks pretty amazing. Though i probably wouldnt want to host a netflix-type app on an IBM cloud. Shudder... ;)

#37Earlier quoted context omitted.
GCP has a regular small startup program that doesn’t require that you have VC funding or specific accelerator backing. It isn’t nearly as much, but I got $1000 on top of the initial $300 for my bootstrap.
I cant reveal much but they did change the rules and added a new smaller package. All 3 levels are technically available directly without an intro but again may take work to navigate the right relationships.
Disclosure: I work on Google Cloud.
We document the levels directly on the site [1], though I think there’s at least one bug in the FAQ :). We try to make it clear that you can also apply directly.

Activate is not only for such accelerators. My previous bootstrapped company got in, it just took some negotiating.

I took the sentence from their website. I will apply if they are open for negotiation. Thanks.

as in from the 1k plan to 10k per month? You're supposed to be in an "approved" accelerator to get it, but in reality if you pester the reps, they will move you up.
By rep what I mean is IBM has a network of people who go out and evangelize their offerings. They are the people who vet the original applications and if you live in a large city with a decent tech scene, you'll eventually run into that person.
First time I did it, I wasn't on the approved accelerator the local rep moved me up after I convinced him how cool it be for us to be "powered by IBM softlayer", as it was known back then
