Databricks for Startups (Databricks + Neon)Mega

Data Platform

Up to $200,000 ($100K Databricks + $100K Neon)

Databricks and Neon run one consolidated startup program with a single application form. The maximum is $100,000 in Databricks credits plus $100,000 in Neon credits, so $200,000 only if you apply for both; applying for one side alone caps you at $100,000. The Databricks side covers the Data Intelligence Platform including Lakeflow, Unity Catalog, Mosaic AI, Databricks SQL and the Foundation Model API, and the Neon side covers serverless Postgres, AI Gateway, Functions, Storage and Authentication. Credits are applied to a live account, so you must create the account and put a payment method on file before credits can be granted, and the Neon account must be on a paid plan.

Airbyte

Data Platform

$75,000 in Airbyte Cloud credits

Airbyte grants $75,000 in Airbyte Cloud credits to companies enrolled in the current or any previous Y Combinator batch. The page also lists access to Airbyte's free learning platform, a guaranteed spot in the next Airbyte workshop, and swag. To qualify a company must have raised less than $5M in total, accept Airbyte Cloud's standard Terms of Service, and not already be an Airbyte customer. Airbyte publishes no deadline and no validity window for the credits, so how long the balance lasts is unverified.

Fivetran

Data Platform

$50,000

Fivetran gives $50,000 in free usage on its Standard plan, to be used over 12 months, to companies enrolled in a Y Combinator batch. The program also includes access to Fivetran's technical support team plus setup guides and live workshops. Eligibility is restricted to three conditions stated on the page: enrolled in any Y Combinator batch, 50 or fewer employees, and not a current or former Fivetran customer. Startups outside YC cannot qualify, and the only date anywhere on the program page is a 2025 copyright notice, so confirm the offer still stands before planning around it.
