$5,000 in credits to build your product on SurrealDB

The SurrealDB Startup Programme gives you credits across SurrealDB Cloud and Agent Memory, and direct access to the engineers who build the database.

Seed to Series A. For early-stage companies building a product on SurrealDB.
A few minutes to apply. One form about your company, its funding and you, and no deck.
Free to join. The programme costs nothing, and Startup Support is an optional add-on.

WHAT'S INCLUDED

Credits, an engineer, support and a launch partner.

$5,000 in credits.

Spend them on SurrealDB Cloud or Agent Memory. Credits apply at organisation level and last 12 months.

A Solutions Engineer.

A named technical contact for schema design, query performance and migrating from your current stack.

Startup Support.

Support tickets at a reduced startup rate, as an optional add-on.

Co-marketing.

Joint blog posts, a case study and amplification when you launch.

THE MATHS

What $5,000 runs. The credits, shown as the workloads they pay for.

1.5 months of Cloud

About that long on a three-node SurrealDB Cloud Scale cluster of 2xlarge instances, with 8 vCPU and 32 GB each.

4 months of Agent Memory

About that long on the Memory+ plan, for teams whose product is the agent.

12 months to spend

Credits sit at organisation level, in any split between the two products.

WHY SURREALDB

The database you pick in month one is the one you live with in year three.

One database for every data model

Documents, graphs, vectors and relational data sit in one ACID engine, with one query language and one bill.

Features that ship as queries

SurrealQL handles relationships, graph traversals, permissions and real-time subscriptions inside the database.

Built for AI-native products

Agent Memory gives your agents persistent, queryable memory on the engine's graph and vector capabilities.

The same database at every stage

SurrealDB runs embedded, self-hosted or on SurrealDB Cloud, so the database you start on is the one you scale on.

THE DEAL

Who it's for, and what we ask back. The programme is for early-stage companies building a product on SurrealDB, and we read every application.

Early-stage startups. What we look for.

Companies funded from seed to Series A.

Technical fit. What we look for.

SurrealDB does real work in your architecture.

A case study. What we ask in return.

Written with you, and published only once you approve it word for word.

Honest feedback. What we ask in return.

Tell us what is broken, so we can fix it.
