# Delivery: dated registry fact on a live Reddit thread

- Target thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/googlecloud/comments/1xlrv7h/applied_for_google_startup_credits_keep_getting/
- Posted comment: https://www.reddit.com/r/googlecloud/comments/1xlrv7h/comment/19s199wr3ava9/ (comment id 19s199wr3ava9, top-level, live as of 2026-11-02T15:19:55.000Z)
- The thread is a founder asking why their Google for Startups application keeps getting rejected; the existing replies guessed at domain and email issues without a source.
- The comment answers with one dated fact instead of advice: Google Cloud Start covers up to $2,000 for one year, limited to companies founded in the last 24 months that plan to raise venture funding.
- Numbers come from the open startup-credits registry at sourcey.com, snapshot 2026-10-05, release e1562c76: Start $2,000 for one year, Scale $100,000 in year one, AI $250,000.
- The source is cited inline in the comment so a reader can check it, and the comment says the registry marks the Google Cloud row freshness "stale" so the figures are dated rather than presented as current.
- The second half turns the fact into checks the poster can run before reapplying: apex vs www resolution, root URL returning 200 with real content, and the domain in the form matching the contact page.
