Welcome to the OpenMetal Startup eXcelerator Program
Build on dedicated private infrastructure. Pay less while you grow.
A Cloud Partnership to Take Your Startup to the Next Level
Most startup cloud credit programs are built around a timer. You get free usage on shared infrastructure, the clock runs out, and suddenly you’re looking at full-rate public cloud bills your runway wasn’t designed for.
The OpenMetal Startup eXcelerator Program is different. You pay a discounted rate from day one, applied as credits toward your dedicated private cloud. Our goal is to become the infrastructure partner you can (and want to!) stay with as you scale.
Highlights of the StartUp eXcelerator Program:
- Up to $100,000 in credits to heavily discount your monthly infrastructure costs
- Dedicated bare metal hardware with no shared tenancy
- Private cloud built on OpenStack and Ceph, open standards that mean you’re not locked into OpenMetal if your needs change
- Custom hardware configurations for AI/ML, big data, blockchain, and other specialized workloads, built to support and optimize your specific needs
- An assigned team of engineers and business executives who advise and support your team as you grow
- Prioritized technical support and dedicated account management
- Joint marketing initiatives

“Having a planned monthly cost has been liberating and has allowed us to allocate resources elsewhere with the knowledge our infrastructure costs are not going to spiral out of control. It has allowed the technology budget to be used on hiring new members for the team, which is permitting our growth to accelerate further.”
Matt Weston, Chief Financial Officer @ MyMiniFactory
“Your team is the kind of people we would dream of having on our own team. With OpenMetal, we found a true partner, we have more control over the performance of our clouds, and we are able to significantly reduce our cloud costs. These three things make this relationship something I would say yes to a hundred times over.”
