Worth knowing
- Scale credits are valid for one year; the official FAQ states YC companies have two years.
- The non-partner Build tier offers discounted seats, not the advertised $10,000 Scale credit, and requires at least $25,000 seed funding with less than $10 million total funding.
- Not a general bootstrapped or solo-builder credit offer; additional eligibility criteria may apply.
