Bootstrapped startup publishes list of startup credits it received
Start here
A self-funded data company, Aidenix, that raised no outside capital has published a repository cataloguing the startup credits actually available to bootstrapped companies, reporting $30,500 in credits received: AWS $10,000, Cloudflare $10,000, DigitalOcean $5,000, Google Cloud $3,000 and OpenAI $2,500. The team says it updates the total only when credits land. The list records each program's bootstrapped-tier amount, expiry window and last-checked date. The team notes that headline figures such as Microsoft's $150,000 unlock in stages, that most credit clocks start at approval and run 6 to 24 months, and that Google and Microsoft credits cannot pay for Claude. The team says it applies the week real load starts rather than when credits are approved.
