Accepted into Cloudflare for Startups: $10,000 in credits for 12 months

Zero sales, no investors, one developer - and what the credits actually pay for.

RepoAccess still has zero sales. There is no funding and no team behind it - it's me.

This morning Cloudflare for Startups activated $10,000 in credits for twelve months.

What went into the application was small: RepoAccess as the product, the Tier 3 track - bootstrapped, no investors - a public site, and a public open-source repo on npm. No revenue to show, because there isn't any.

What the credits change is narrower than the number. Every RepoAccess deployment runs on the buyer's own Cloudflare account, so none of this touches my users' bills.

It pays for my side: edgekits.dev, the demo deployments I keep live to test each payment adapter against real refunds and chargebacks, and the next kits I'm building on the same stack.

The fine print, if you're thinking of applying: the credits don't cover domain

registrations or AI Gateway, R2 is capped at $10,000 and Workers AI at $50,000,

and the twelve months run from activation.

The Product Hunt launch ten days ago produced nothing - no customers, no real engagement. Cloudflare's decision is the first outside signal that came back positive. It isn't the one that counts - that's a first customer - but it takes

infrastructure off the list for a year while I look for them.

If you're bootstrapped on Cloudflare and assumed the program is only for funded startups, it apparently isn't.

    It’s great to hear that Cloudflare for Startups has recognized your efforts with $10,000 in credits! It’s a significant boost, especially since you’re managing everything on your own. Keep up the hard work, and I’m sure your persistence will pay off with that first customer soon. Best of luck with RepoAccess and edgekits.dev!
