We live in the golden age of AI development. Accessing intelligence has never been easier. But building a truly great AI product? That is still hard.
As developers, we constantly face a painful trade-off: “Do I use the smartest model and hurt my margins, or do I use a cheaper model and sacrifice user experience?”
This calculation stifles innovation. It forces you to optimize for the invoice, rather than optimizing for the user.
At DGrid, we want to change this equation.
We believe that great products shouldn’t die because the unit economics haven’t stabilized yet. That is why we are launching the DGrid Developer Grant Program.
The Grant: Tailored Support for Every Stage
We are deploying a flexible fund with packages ranging from **$50 to $50,000**. We don’t believe in a “one-size-fits-all” approach. Instead, we size the grant to match your project’s potential and needs.
Our goal is to make a meaningful dent in your infrastructure costs:
- For Early Builders & MVP: For many of you, this grant will effectively eliminate your API bill entirely, giving you the runway to experiment, break things, and find Product-Market Fit without spending a dime.
- For Scaling Products: If you are already handling significant traffic, we know the costs can be brutal. We want to provide a substantial subsidy to offset your operational overhead, helping you improve your margins while you scale.
Why DGrid?
We are building the ultimate unified infrastructure for LLM deployment. We aggregate the world’s best open and closed-source models into a single, standardized API.
But infrastructure needs a thriving ecosystem.
We are launching this grant because we act as a partner, not just a vendor. By absorbing a portion of the cost complexity, we empower you to build with the best tools available.
We are launching this grant because we believe that if we support you today — by lowering your barriers and improving your margins — you will build better products. And when you succeed, we succeed.
How It Works
- Apply: Fill the form (it takes 2 minutes).
- Allocation: Our team reviews your project and contacts you. Then allocates a granted credit package in your DGrid account.
- Build: You get unrestricted access to our model garden.
Let’s Get Started.
There are no strings attached. No equity to give up, just a shared goal: building better AI products with fewer constraints.
Use the grant to explore our unified API, stress-test your prompts, or fix your unit economics. The credits are yours to deploy however you see fit.
