Global provider of CDN, edge AI, cloud, network, and security solutions, Gcore, has introduced Gcore for Startups, an AI-native initiative created to address the actual infrastructure requirements of startups. For early-stage businesses to succeed in the cutthroat, rapidly evolving business world of today, the program helps them deploy more quickly, cut expenses, and create cutting-edge AI products with a worldwide reach.
Over 35,000 early-stage firms make up the industry, which may be valued at $8 trillion in less than a decade, according to Atomico’s ‘State of European Tech 2024’ report. Gcore recognizes the need of dependable, reasonably priced infrastructure in the early phases of growth, having been a startup itself. With clear invoicing, customizable terms, and enterprise-grade performance, Gcore for Startups is designed for long-term value, in contrast to traditional startup programs that depend on expiring promo packages and can leave entrepreneurs with unknown expenses and a cycle of grant-hopping.
Utilized by businesses globally, the program makes advantage of Gcore’s extensive infrastructure and cutting-edge AI, network, and security solutions. Fast yet sustainable startup growth is encouraged by Gcore, which makes global-grade resources available to early-stage enterprises from day one.

“I was a startup founder myself more than ten years ago, and I can still clearly recall the intensity of that early stage: every decision matters, resources are limited, and the right support can make all the difference,” said Gcore CEO Andre Reitenbach.
At Gcore, the Startup program was developed based on personal experience rather than an external perspective. With offices across the globe, the company now employs over 500 people and serves market leaders in telco, gambling, financial services, media, and retail. “Our goal is to provide early builders with the infrastructure, knowledge, and collaboration that we wish we had in the past since we understand what it takes to create something tangible,” added Mr. Reitenbach.
According to Dmitry Maslennikov, Head of Startups at Gcore, “Startups deserve real infrastructure, fair pricing, and long-term partners. The cycle of building on loans, running out, and relocating is one that far too many founders encounter. It is a flawed system. For founders who are developing meaningful technology from the start, Gcore for Startups was developed. It allows your team to work quickly even in a totally AI-native setting, scales with you, and pays you back.”
