Llama has launched a new initiative to support early-stage startups building generative AI solutions. The Llama Startup Program is designed to provide funding, expert guidance, and technical support to help startups succeed with Llama’s AI models.

Helping Startups Build with Llama

Through this program, selected startups will receive up to $6,000 per month in cloud credits for six months to offset the cost of using Llama through hosted API providers. This allows teams to experiment and scale without worrying about infrastructure costs early on.

Hands-On Support from Llama Experts

Participants won’t be going it alone. Llama’s technical team will work directly with startup developers, offering support from setup to scaling. The goal is to help founders leverage Llama effectively and accelerate their AI development.

Who Can Apply?

The program is open to U.S.-based startups that,

• Are incorporated
• Have raised less than $10 million USD
• Have at least one developer on staff

Llama is looking for startups building in areas like.

• Technology and software
• Financial services
• Healthcare and life sciences
• Telecommunications
• Retail and eCommerce
