Cloudflare for Startups, launched in 2018, aims to support startups by alleviating high infrastructure costs and facilitating innovation and scaling. By offering up to $250,000 in cloud credits for use on its Developer Platform, Cloudflare enables founders to focus on building products and growing their businesses. The Cloudflare Workers Launchpad Program, introduced during Birthday Week 2022, initially provided $1.25 billion in potential funding through partnerships with 26 venture capital firms, which has since expanded to $2 billion. The program has welcomed 145 startups from 23 countries, addressing challenges in various industries, including AI, developer tools, and finance. Participants benefit from bootcamp sessions, design support, and access to a vast VC network, fostering growth and collaborations. Notable acquisitions include Nefeli Networks and Outerbase, while startups like Langbase and Sherpo.io have emerged as key players in their fields. The program is praised for its community and expert guidance, helping startups scale and innovate rapidly. As the program continues to grow, Cloudflare remains committed to supporting and empowering the next generation of entrepreneurs.
