As long as your service can be spun in some way as a startup you should definitely apply to this grant from google. https://cloud.google.com/developers/startups/ https://cloud.google.com/developers/startups/ In my experience it's very easy to get, and the minimum is 1000$ credit for a year (scroll down to Program options). If you're lucky you can even get 3000$ and few other goodies.
