Weaviate Startup Deal 🎁 Program

What you get

Weaviate's startup deal gives eligible startups discounted access to Weaviate Cloud, the managed version of its open-source vector database used for semantic search, RAG and AI agent memory. The official page does not publish a fixed dollar value or percentage; the discount is confirmed once Weaviate's team validates your redemption request.

Who qualifies

The page asks you to be a startup with a Weaviate Cloud Console account. It asks for the "Program / VC" backing you (examples given are Y Combinator and Techstars, or another partner program), but does not say a partner is mandatory, and a supporting proof or reference is described as optional unless Weaviate's team asks for one.

Good to know

• You must create or log into a Weaviate Console account first, and the deal is tied to that account's email.
• The redemption form must be submitted with the same email as the Console account, plus your company name.
• No deadline, discount size or expiry is published; Weaviate's team reviews each request individually.

How to get the most from it

Set up your Console organisation and fill in your company details fully before submitting the redemption form, since incomplete profiles slow down validation. If you have a VC, accelerator or cloud partner backing you, name them on the form, since the field exists for that purpose even though it is not stated as a requirement.

Verdict

Worth claiming if you are already building on Weaviate, but treat the discount amount as unknown until the team confirms it on your account. Compare against Pinecone's and Qdrant's startup programs in this directory, which are similarly light on published figures.

1. Create or log in to the Weaviate Console with the email you want the deal applied to.
2. Complete your organisation profile and company details in the Console.
3. Submit the redemption form at https://weaviate.io/startup-deal using the same email as your Console account, naming your company and any backing VC or program.
4. Wait for Weaviate's team to validate the request and apply the deal to your account.
