$300K Cloud Credits - How to use or sell them?
My start-up has gone through multiple accelerators and each one of them has given us access to credits on multiple cloud providers. We have about $100K in each GCP, AWS and DO. We only burn a very small amount of credits a month hosting our servers so would love to do something useful with the remaining credits rather than letting them go to waste.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to best make use of them? I know crypto mining is not allowed on most providers and would probably not return much anyways.

hey there i wanna use it lets talk i will pay?
Have you read through the ToS for those credits? They may not be transferrable, in which case you may have trouble finding anyone to sell them to. You could also try to reach out to some founders on here who do cloud-based services such as hosting then offer them compute on through GCP in exchange for some cash. This second option may actually get around any ToS stuff but again you need to look into that.
You can apply code, then give access to the account with credits and new owner then just change the credentials. Im interested if you are ready to do so.
You may be right, I dont think any credits gained through a promotion or start-up program are transferable. That being said our DO account is untouched and we could sell the entire account. The others actually have infrastructure running on them so not as easy.
Will be on the lookout though if there is anyone on here who might be interested in me hosting their services in exchange for cash.
