Akamai Cloud Rise offers eligible new startup customers between $500 and up to $120,000 in free Akamai Cloud credits during the first year of a three-year program, at a $0 acquisition cost. Credits can support services such as virtual machines and cloud storage, do not roll over month to month, and require an eligible early-stage company plus a new commercial Akamai Cloud account with company-domain identity and a valid credit card.
