Founder Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything about eligibility, claiming playbooks, and credit disbursement.

How does Startupbricks Perks work?

We curate verified cloud credits, SaaS deals, and accelerator programs from AWS, Google Cloud, Claude, Stripe, and 340+ leading partners. Registered founders can explore eligibility criteria and follow structured claiming playbooks to redeem credits.

What does the Approval Index indicate?

The visual meter measures approval odds: High means instant or near-guaranteed acceptance; Medium requires basic business email verification; Low signifies selective criteria like YC or institutional venture backing.

Can bootstrapped founders claim these deals?

Over 65% of the perks in our catalog do not require venture funding. Many programs (like MongoDB, DigitalOcean, PostHog, and Notion) accept self-funded founders with a live company website.

How do I apply for Mega-Tier credits ($100k+)?

Click on any perk to view the complete 4-step claiming playbook. For top cloud programs, you typically need an active company domain, corporate email, and an active business registration.
