Deepgram for Startups: $1,000 to start, up to $100,000 if selected
Save ~$1000
Direct applicants start at $1,000
The hero still says up to $100,000 in credits over 12 months for selected teams, covering speech-to-text, text-to-speech, and Voice Agent. The FAQ says the direct-applicant starter offer starts at $1,000, with a chance to move up to tiers worth up to $100,000. The full $100,000 is not automatic. Each grant expires 12 months from issue. Applicants must be an AI builder or early-stage startup, in production or looking to launch in the next 6 months. Apply with a Deepgram account and a Project ID. The same FAQ says new Deepgram accounts also have $200 in promotional credits available immediately on signup. That $200 line is a separate listing.
