How to choose startup grants to claim your startup credits

Apply to the programmes that need nothing but a company website first (most AI and developer-tool perks), then the cloud programmes, whose bigger tiers usually need a partner code from an accelerator or investor. Credits expire, typically after 12 months, so claim them when you are ready to build, not the day you incorporate.
