About the OVHcloud program

The OVHcloud Startup Program (startup.ovhcloud.com) offers free cloud credits plus engineer time in two 12-month levels. Start is for selected pre-seed and seed startups: €10,000 in free credits to spend on OVHcloud public cloud and hosted private cloud, plus 6 hours of 1-on-1 time with an engineer. Scale is for selected Series A (and beyond) funded startups and scaleups: up to €100,000 in credits and up to 20 hours of engineer time, with a discussion of your business with one of OVHcloud's engineers. There is one application for both levels and OVHcloud says it replies within a week.

The US program (us.ovhcloud.com/startup-program) publishes dollar figures: up to $12,000 for Start and up to $120,000 for Scale, again with 6 and 20 hours of engineer time over 12 months. US credits can be used on IaaS public cloud (compute including GPUs, storage, network), containers and orchestration (Managed Kubernetes, Private Registry, Load Balancers) and managed databases.

Members also get visibility on OVHcloud channels, access to Showcase events with VCs and partners, 1-on-1 mentoring and a Content Hub. Incubators, accelerators and VCs can contact the program to offer credits to their cohorts.
