GitHub for Startups: $10,000 in credits for up to 12 months
Save ~$10000
$10,000 in GitHub credits
GitHub's startups page offers $10,000 in credits across Enterprise, Copilot (licenses, premium models, and agentic use), Advanced Security, Actions, and other metered add-ons, for up to 12 months. You must be affiliated with a GitHub for Startups partner. Outside funding can be up to Series B. Non-equity credits do not count as funding. You must be new to GitHub Enterprise, meaning not on an Enterprise plan in the past 6 months, and you must not have already received GitHub credits or Enterprise licenses. Apply through a partner. The grant is one-time. Credits stay on the Enterprise Cloud account you submit. They do not transfer, and they do not cover Enterprise Server or data residency. An authorization charge hits the card within a few weeks or the account is locked. Credits expire when they are used or at 12 months. Downgrading before they are used forfeits the rest, and you cannot reapply. GitHub says the previous startup offer is discontinued. Approval email in 2 to 3 business days. Any investor, incubator, or accelerator can become a partner.
