Scaleway is a French cloud provider with a three-tier startup program: Founders gives up to €1,000 in credits over 12 months, Early Stage gives €1,500 per month for 6 months (€9,000 total), and Growth Stage gives €3,000 per month for 12 months (€36,000 total). The stated eligibility is three checks only: less than 5 years old, less than 50 employees, and not yet a Scaleway client, with no funding requirement listed. The two upper tiers are stage-gated (pre-seed to seed for Early Stage, seed to Series A for Growth Stage) and the FAQ attaches monthly consumption thresholds to them, so most first-time applicants enter at the Founders tier. One form on the program page covers all three tiers and the admission committee reviews applications weekly on a rolling basis.
Open to young tech startups founded within the defined program age window.
Under 5 years old, under 50 staff, not a current client
Active company website & working product URL
Business domain work email (e.g. [email protected])

Greylock Edge is a 3-month company-building program from the venture firm Greylock, open to pre-idea, pre-seed and seed founders. Accepted founders get $500K+ in credits with AWS, Google, Microsoft and other partners, plus access to Greylock's recruiting team, AI researchers in residence and customer network. Greylock does not require an investment to join, and financing ranges from a priced seed round to an uncapped SAFE to no capital at all. Applications are rolling with no deadline, but Greylock states it works with only a very select handful of founders, so acceptance odds are low.
