Who qualifies
Series A or earlier, approved startup-partner affiliation with evidence, within 12 months of latest funding, company-domain email/site and no previous program grant.
The catch
Partner affiliation, approval and a valid payment method are required. At most 50% of the allocation covers AI Gateway. Excess usage can bill even while other coverage remains. Unused coverage does not roll over.

Details
New acceptances since August 6, 2026 use Enterprise Flex Commit terms. Coverage lasts up to a year or exhaustion, then standard terms and list pricing apply. v0 and AI Gateway are included subject to limits. This is service-commitment coverage, not cash or an unrestricted prepaid API grant. Use the direct application; Vercel affiliate terms prohibit coupon/deal-site affiliate placement.
