Hatch is DigitalOcean's global program for startups, offering credits and discounts on computing resources to help them build and scale without worrying about costs. In 2024, Hatch revamped its program to better support AI/ML startups, providing discounts for GPU Droplets and free access to premium support. Ex-human, a startup building empathetic generative AI solutions, chose the Hatch program to serve their customers with AI models, citing DigitalOcean's GPU Droplets as reliable and intuitive, allowing them to focus on product development. The Hatch program provides up to $100,000 in compute credits, three months free of an NVIDIA H100x8 GPU Droplet, complimentary premium support, and GenAI usage with Hatch credits. By partnering with companies like Grindr, Ex-human's technology has the potential to help humans form stronger bonds in both physical and digital worlds.
