## $50K in credits and grants to build using Tenki

Tenki runs the compute behind your engineering team: GitHub Actions runners, an AI code reviewer, and sandboxes for AI agents. All three drop into the GitHub setup you already have.

## What is Tenki — Infrastructure for your code and your agents.

- **[Sandboxes](https://tenki.cloud/products/sandbox)** — Isolated Linux VMs for AI agents. They boot in under two seconds and never cold start. Give your agent root without giving it yours.
- **[GitHub Runners](https://tenki.cloud/products/runners)** — Managed GitHub Actions runners on bare metal, x64 and Apple Silicon. Change one line of YAML and your builds finish 30% faster for up to 60% less.
- **[AI Code Reviewer](https://tenki.cloud/products/code-reviewer)** — A GitHub App that reads your whole codebase and reviews every pull request. It leaves inline comments and suggested edits before a human ever looks.

## The Breakdown — Here's what Tenki offers you.

- **$10K in free credits** — We credit your account as soon as you get approved. Spend it on anything in the Tenki suite: Sandboxes, GitHub Runners or AI Code Reviewer.
- **$40K in matching grants** — For every additional dollar of Tenki credit you purchase, we match it 1:1, up to $40K. Buy $40K in credit and you walk away with $80K.

## Benefits — You'll get perks too.

- **Slack and Tenki support** — Join our Slack community with access to office hours with Tenki's engineering team.
- **Access to our office** — Drop by and work from our San Francisco office whenever you like, and meet the Tenki team in person.

## FAQs

### Who qualifies?

Startups that haven't raised beyond Series B. We also look at team size, how much you've raised, and how long you've been around — if you're genuinely early, apply.

### What does it cost?

Nothing to apply. The $10K in credits is free, and every additional dollar of credit you purchase is matched 1:1, up to $40K in matching credits.

### What's the catch?

No catch. We don't take equity and there's nothing to pay back. We're betting you'll like Tenki enough to stick around once the credits run out.

### How long do credits last?

Long enough to actually use them. We'll confirm the exact terms in your acceptance email.

### Already using a competitor?

Yes, apply anyway. We'll help you migrate.

### How long until we hear back?

Usually within a week of applying.
