How MongoDB for Startups works

Credit types and validity

• Inspire (bootstrapped): baseline Atlas credits
• Grow (early-funded): expanded credits and hands-on technical support
• Innovate (VC-backed): additional credits and expanded expertise
• Scale (rapidly scaling): maximum credits, priority support and expert guidance

How the credits are applied and when they expire

Apply via 'Apply Now' on mongodb.com/solutions/startups with your company email, legal name, company URL, LinkedIn, HQ country and funding stage. If approved you get a promo code to activate in MongoDB Atlas; the code's expiry date is shown in Atlas. Your tier, and so the credit size, depends on your funding stage.
