Perkstack lists this one for pre-seed, seed and growth companies. It is a public program, so you apply directly with Akamai and nobody has to introduce you. We rate the realistic chance of approval for an eligible team as medium.
What the Akamai perk is worth
Perkstack estimates this listing at about $120K. Every figure on the site is an estimate of what the credit or benefit is realistically worth to an early stage company, not a quote and not a guarantee of the tier you will be offered. Providers routinely run several tiers, so treat this as the ceiling to aim at and check the program page for the current numbers.
What the listing includes

- The direct apply link, so you are not guessing which of the provider's five pages is the real form
- A step by step claim guide written for Akamai specifically, with the exact fields the application asks for
- The same treatment on 234 other perks, each with a last verified date
How this listing is verified
A human last opened Akamai's own program page and confirmed this offer on Sep 11, 2026. Credit programs change quietly: tiers get cut, forms move behind partner referrals, and dead programs stay published for months. Perkstack rechecks listings and marks the ones that expire or change their terms, so the date above is the date the offer was confirmed rather than the date the page was written.
