What you get
Up to $100k DigitalOcean credits over 12 months, prioritized technical support, founder community, and mentorship.
Who qualifies
Less than 5 years old, less than $5M revenue, no other DigitalOcean credit history. Partner-network startups get fastest entry.
We don't take a referral fee or commission. Direct provider link, no aggregator markup.
Why this matters for fundraising founders
Cloud spend is the biggest non-payroll line for early-stage SaaS. Stacking the major provider startup credits buys you 12–24 months of runway on infra alone, often more than the seed-round dilution covers. The DigitalOcean Hatch program is one of 6 cloud & infra perks Claude Fundraiser tracks for pre-seed through Series A founders. We update eligibility + ceiling values weekly so you don't apply for a tier you can't qualify for.
