Frequently asked about Hugging Face Startup Program
Is Hugging Face Startup Program still available?
No startup program appears on any Hugging Face owned page. The Enterprise pricing page lists only Team and Enterprise plans with no startup discount and no application path. The 50% off Enterprise Hub claim could not be verified. Checked September 13, 2026.
What should startups use instead of Hugging Face Startup Program?
The closest live options are together-ai-startups, fireworks-startups, modal-startups. Each one is listed with its current terms and application link on this page.
Why is this page still published if the program ended?
Because founders still search for it. Removing the page would send them to third-party sites that are still republishing the old terms as if they were current. Keeping it, with the offer stripped out, is the only way to correct the record at the place people actually look.
How can I tell whether a startup credit program is still live?
Open the provider's own startup or partner page and look for a working application form with stated eligibility and credit amounts. Aggregator sites routinely keep listings up for years after a program ends, so a deal roundup is not evidence that the program exists.
