OVHcloud® US Launches Startup Program to Accelerate Businesses in Their Journey to the Cloud

Program members receive cloud credits and technical support to use cloud technology more efficiently to help their businesses grow

RESTON, Va. – (June 6, 2023) – OVHcloud® US – the global alternative to hyper scalers offering truly flexible cloud solutions, launched their Startup Program to accelerate startups’ journey to the cloud. This 12-month program offers up to $120,000 in free credits and up to 20 hours of technical consultations where members in the early stages of development can design a minimum viable product or even build the optimal infrastructure to scale rapidly to reach new markets.

“At OVHcloud US, we believe in innovation for freedom,” said Startup Program Lead US, Francois Giraud. “OVHcloud launched the global Startup Program in 2015 having already supported 3,300 startups and scaleups, and we are thrilled to kick off the program in the U.S. Our Startup Program allows us to be hands-on with our members and to provide personal customer service that companies will not find at other cloud providers. Whether they are early-stage startups or established startups looking to scale, our goal is to see the members of this program succeed and grow their businesses. We personalize the experience of each member to provide tools and guidance they need to help them build a secure, high-performance cloud environment.”

OVHcloud has been the pioneer of sustainable cloud and currently achieves some of the best-published ratios in the cloud industry regarding energy efficiency and water consumption. Indeed OVHcloud has one of the industry's lowest Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) ratings, thanks to the proprietary water-cooling system. OVHcloud was one of the first companies in the industry to integrate this technology into data centers, cementing its leadership with sustainable cloud solutions. This solution reduces the need for conventional air conditioning in our data centers and reduces energy consumption. These innovations and more are used at both the Vint Hill and Hillsboro data centers.

Companies and startups across all verticals are invited to join the program. OVHcloud US products can support digital businesses requiring rapid, flexible, and affordable scaling of cloud infrastructure and those using data-intensive technologies. Benefiting from an open cloud with no hidden fees, no vendor lock-in, and transparent pricing, Startup Program members can enjoy the high performance, scalability, and sustainability of OVHcloud US’ solutions at a lower price point.

“OVHcloud’s open ecosystem allows us to help startups build their environment in a cost-efficient way,” continued Giraud. “Startups can create and develop their environment and applications in OVHcloud at a lower cost with full reversibility. Many cloud providers lock in startup program members once they begin to develop their environment, do not provide consistent pricing for those who graduate from the program, and, if a startup chooses to leave the platform, they might be forced to rearchitect full applications. Our open cloud allows businesses to develop their applications in an open-source approach supporting multi-cloud scenarios.”

OVHcloud US Startup Program founding members include Pytheia, Vault Staking, Mantis Ad Network, SharePlay Interactive, PracticeQuest, Sabz Ventures, Radiance AI, MateWorkx, and more. As the members continue to grow, OVHcloud US is already looking ahead to create an accelerator program to continue to aid startups in their cloud journey.
