Startup programme | SurrealDB
Skip to content
$5,000 in credits to build your product on SurrealDB
The SurrealDB Startup Programme gives you credits across SurrealDB Cloud and Agent Memory, and direct access to the engineers who build the database.
Apply now
What's included
Seed to Series A.
For early-stage companies building a product on SurrealDB.
A few minutes to apply.
One form about your company, its funding and you, and no deck.
Free to join.
The programme costs nothing, and Startup Support is an optional add-on.
WHAT'S INCLUDED
Credits, an engineer, support and a launch partner.
$5,000 in credits
Spend them on SurrealDB Cloud or Agent Memory. Credits apply at organisation level and last 12 months.
A Solutions Engineer
A named technical contact for schema design, query performance and migrating from your current stack.
Startup Support
Support tickets at a reduced startup rate, as an optional add-on.
A launch partner
Joint blog posts, a case study and amplification when you launch.
THE MATHS
What $5,000 runs.
The credits, shown as the workloads they pay for.
1.5 months of Cloud
About that long on a three-node SurrealDB Cloud Scale cluster of 2xlarge instances, with 8 vCPU and 32 GB each.
4 months of Agent Memory
About that long on the Memory+ plan, for teams whose product is the agent.
12 months to spend
Credits sit at organisation level, in any split between the two products.
WHY SURREALDB
The database you pick in month one
is the one you live with in year three.
One database for every data model
Documents, graphs, vectors and relational data sit in one ACID engine, with one query language and one bill.
Features that ship as queries
SurrealQL handles relationships, graph traversals, permissions and real-time subscriptions inside the database.
Built for AI-native products
Agent Memory gives your agents persistent, queryable memory on the engine's graph and vector capabilities.
The same database at every stage
SurrealDB runs embedded, self-hosted or on SurrealDB Cloud, so the database you start on is the one you scale on.
THE DEAL
Who it's for, and what we ask back.
The programme is for early-stage companies building a product on SurrealDB, and we read every application.
Early-stage startups.
What we look for.
Companies funded from seed to Series A.
Technical fit.
What we look for.
SurrealDB does real work in your architecture.
A case study.
What we ask in return.
Written with you, and published only once you approve it word for word.
Honest feedback.
What we ask in return.
Tell us what is broken, so we can fix it.
