Nebius AI Lift is a startup credit program run in collaboration with NVIDIA Inception that gives eligible AI-native startups up to $150,000 in Nebius AI Cloud credits plus $10,000 in dedicated inference credits.
Beyond raw credits, participants receive access to Nebius AI technical expertise and solution architects, significant discounts for startups committing to longer-term AI scaling, guaranteed priority access to current-generation NVIDIA GPUs including early access to the Blackwell platform on Nebius cloud instances, and co-marketing exposure through Nebius blog features and event speaking slots.
The program is aimed at bootstrapped through pre-Series B AI startups and is accessed via NVIDIA Inception membership, which is itself free and has no equity or minimum-funding requirement. Because Inception membership also unlocks credits from other cloud partners, AI Lift is commonly stacked with other provider programs to extend runway substantially before a startup needs to raise.
Nebius has continued to expand its startup compute commitments, including a separate Robotics and Physical AI Awards program backed by $1. 5 million in compute credits.
