StartupPerks is a comparison tool and is not endorsed by the programs it lists. It is a referral partner of some providers. AITraining.jobs, Founden, AIData.Broker and GenMagic are run by the same company as StartupPerks: their listings are free, ranked by the same rules as every other program, and labeled "Same owner as StartupPerks" wherever they appear. Values and eligibility are aggregated from each provider's public pages and can change or be incomplete. Always confirm the current terms and your eligibility on the provider's own page before applying.
