someone asked me on PM how to get your hands on that pile of virtual cash. I'm no expert on that, and likely YMMV, but for us, we basically called account managers in the big 3 (GCP, aws, azure) and went shopping. With some PR visibility (i.e seed, some stupid "innovation reward", I guess any alternative empty proof of existence applies), we got offers (in the 50-500K range).
The way I see it, that's the de-facto standard - launch a VC funded startup, and cloud providers will align next your door to shell credits on your head.
