We’ve got some awesome news. We’re giving startups access to tons of credits to get started using Mux for free. Startups are eligible for at least $500 in Mux Video credits. We also have specific credit packages available through leading incubators and venture firms, including Y combinator (#alum!), Andreessen Horowitz, Pioneer Square Labs, Sweat Equity Ventures, and Techstars. Plus, we’re working with AWS Activate to provide exclusive benefits to Activate startups. Whether you’re a bootstrapped, 2-person operation or a VC-backed unicorn-in-the-making, we’re ready to help you build video into your product today.
“Do a lot with a little” is a core value here at Mux, but it’s also a reality of any resource-strapped startup. For Mux, this means we look for opportunities to do more with less and turn hard problems into easy problems. Mux is made up of startup veterans and company builders. We understand the pain points that come with getting businesses up and running, and the sheer amount of tools, systems, and software involved.
Mux is your “do a lot with a little” partner for getting video into your product. We often hear that including great video in a new product takes hours with Mux, rather than days with other platforms. You could smack together dozens of services to build and maintain a video delivery pipeline. Or you could use our API and let us handle encoding, storage, delivery, and scaling while you focus on… everything else you have to do!
This totally depends on your product. Different applications have wildly different costs associated with them, but this kind of money would cover real, meaningful use for a startup, potentially for quite a few months.

Today, our customers range from at-home fitness platforms to stock trading apps and everything in between. We’re excited to help you use video, no matter the use case. We’re here to help, so take the money and run with it!

In the process of creating a BART ad for the first time, we had some learnings that we thought we would share that could hopefully help someone else on their out-of-home ad buying journey.
