What I find regrettable is how GCP's startup program seems to be entirely geared towards VC-fuelled startups for the higher tiers.
Compare with Microsoft for Startups, which isn't seen as hip and edgy but can get you like $5k+$25k in Azure credits (and some OpenAI credits) without having to go the VC route.
Seems more entrepreneurial to me. Venture-backed is just not the right path for everyone.
- pirsquare 4y agoJust go with AWS or Azure. Google Clown Platform is okay until you need to have any form of support. I'm like you, bootstrapper. Went with GCP for 4 yrs until they shutdown my production servers last fri. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35133917 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35133917
- hdivider 4y agoThank you. Don't see why your comment got downvoted. Holding the Clown Platform accountable is surely in the interest of hackers. Crazy story. Thanks for sharing and yes, suffice to say, this informs our tech stack choices, hah.
