MongoDB (NASDAQ: MDB), provider of modern database platforms, has expanded its "MongoDB for Startups" program. The aim is to make it easier for young companies to develop and scale AI applications without having to constantly adapt their infrastructure.

Partnerships strengthen AI scaling

New to the program are the partnerships with Temporal and Fireworks AI. This gives startups direct access to scalable GenAI models, powerful workflow orchestrations and a robust data infrastructure. The participating companies have already reached a combined valuation of over 200 billion US dollars.

Founders who choose MongoDB can easily access our inference engine and smoothly scale their AI ventures.

Extensive support for startups

The program provides startups with a multi-cloud-enabled, fully managed database platform (MongoDB Atlas), credits to use Atlas and tokens from Voyage AI for embedding and reranking models. In addition, startups receive technical advice, co-marketing opportunities and access to a partner network to expand their customer base. The offer is aimed at companies in all financing phases, from self-financed start-ups to venture capital-financed start-ups.

Scaling without infrastructure problems

In the fast-growing AI market, founders need to choose their tech stack carefully to avoid early technical debt that could stifle innovation. By integrating MongoDB, Fireworks AI and Temporal, startups get a production-ready foundation that reliably supports complex workflows and AI-powered applications.

Startups in the AI age need a robust data foundation from the start and a tech stack that runs reliably and grows with the business

Samar Abbas, CEO of Temporal, adds:"Our partnership simplifies complexity for founders and helps them build resilient, scalable applications." Startups wishing to participate can sign up directly for the program. Dev stores, consultants or marketing agencies are excluded.
