Free $10k in costs for DigitalOcean via Stripe Atlas (+ other)
Main page about it on DO: https://www.digitalocean.com/hatch/
Atlas thread (if you're a member): https://discuss.stripe.community/t/new-atlas-benefit-get-10-000-in-digitalocean-credit/10535
This is a great thing so do check it out. Cheers.
Small thing to note is that credits are valid for 1 year.
Also from their FAQ:
I am an existing customer, do I qualify for Hatch?
If you already have an account manager, you do not qualify for Hatch. Your account manager can communicate alternative support programs and offerings for you and your team.
Not sure what is an account manager but I assume if you're already a dev/customer you won't qualify.
I see:
"Stripe Atlas Community Access
We're rolling out access to the forums gradually. Please email atlas@stripe.com for details."
Post a screenshot or copy and paste the info here?
I hope I'm not breaking any ToS etc, it's in good faith.
"Stripe Atlas members can now receive $10,000 in DigitalOcean credit! :partying_face:

If you don’t use DO, and still need to register your LLC, EIN, and get a US bank account that’s less expensive. Check out https://www.blook.io/stripe-atlas-alternative

I seriously doubt someone can beat Atlas' support experience simply by having a chat function. But still, good find, some might use it.
The chat support isn’t the sole reason why the support and customer experience is better but it does help! Sometimes you’d like a quicker response or help talking to someone live, at least that’s what our customers are saying :)
Regardless besides that, being $400 less expensive also helps!
