Gotchas

  • The discount size and duration are not published; you learn the terms when the deal is applied.
  • The deal is applied to the specific Console email/organization you submit, so use the right account.
  • Weaviate may ask for proof of your accelerator or VC affiliation.
  • A free tier already exists for prototyping, so the deal mainly matters for paid clusters.

About the Weaviate program

Weaviate offers a Startup Deal (weaviate.io/startup-deal) that gives startups access to its products and services at a discounted rate. Redemption runs through Weaviate Cloud: you create or log in to the Weaviate Console with the email the deal should apply to, complete your organization settings, and submit the redemption form; Weaviate's team then validates the request and applies the deal to your account.

The form asks for your Console email, company name and the program or VC behind your startup status (examples given: Y Combinator, Techstars or a partner program), and may request proof or a reference. Weaviate does not publish the discount percentage, any credit amount or the duration on the redemption page.

If you only need to prototype, Weaviate Cloud now has a free tier for its managed database (and Engram) with no credit card and no time expiry; free clusters can later be upgraded to pay-as-you-go. The startup deal matters once you move to paid clusters.

Fetched directly on 2026-11-03. Page confirms the four redemption steps, the form fields (Console email, company name, Program/VC e.g. Y Combinator, Techstars, partner program, optional proof) and 'access to our products and services at a discounted rate'. No discount percentage, credit amount or duration is published, so value numbers are null. Free-tier details are from the weaviate.io blog.
