# E2B for Startups

> A program for early-stage teams building AI agents on E2B. Approved startups receive one-time $20,000 in E2B credits and membership in the Pro tier.

## Program benefits

Approved teams receive:

- One-time $20,000 in E2B usage credits.
- Membership in the E2B Pro tier.
- An isolated Linux machine per agent session, with a shell, filesystem, network access, and an optional desktop.
- Custom sandbox CPU and RAM.
- Up to 100 concurrently running sandboxes, expandable to 1,100 with a paid add-on.
- Sandbox sessions up to 24 hours, with free pause and resume.
- Any model and any agent framework. The runtime is Apache-2.0.

## Eligibility

Applicants must meet all three criteria:

- The startup has raised less than $5 million.
- The startup was founded less than three years ago.
- The team is a first-time E2B user.

Capacity is limited, so meeting the criteria does not guarantee acceptance. Open-source projects are welcome but not required. A rejected team may reapply three months after the decision.

## Typical projects

Coding agents, data analysis and visualization, code-generation evals, computer use, generative interfaces, deep research, and general-purpose agents.

## Apply
