Together AI Startup Accelerator

Program Overview

The Together AI Startup Accelerator is a selective program designed to support startups building and scaling generative AI applications. The program provides substantial platform credits to offset inference and compute costs, alongside technical advisory and go-to-market support.

Free Credit Tiers & Engineering Support

Benefits are structured into three funding-based tiers:

• **Build Tier (Up to $5M raised):** Up to$15,000 in free platform credits and 3 hours of forward-deployed engineering guidance.
• Scale Tier ($5M-$10M raised): Up to $30,000 in free platform credits and 6 hours of forward-deployed engineering guidance.
• **Grow Tier (Over $10M raised):** Up to$50,000 in free platform credits and 10 hours of forward-deployed engineering guidance.

Credit Usage & Limitations

• Eligible Services: Credits can be used for serverless inference, dedicated endpoints, model fine-tuning, and instant GPU clusters.
• Exclusions: Platform credits do not apply to Reserved GPU Clusters.

Additional Free Program Benefits

• Forward-Deployed Engineering: Direct, hands-on assistance from Together AI engineers to optimize performance, lower latency, and design production pipelines.
• Joint GTM Amplification: Co-selling and co-marketing visibility across the Together AI developer network.
• Ecosystem & VC Access: Exclusive technical content (benchmarking and evaluation guides), private community events, and connections to venture capital partners.

Application Details

Applications are accepted on a rolling basis via the program portal. Startups must provide details about current funding, primary cloud provider, customer metrics, and primary use cases (e.g., LLMs, training, inference, audio/video processing).
