Vet-specific vs general — what's the difference?

Veteran-specific discounts require military or veteran verification (via ID.me, VerifyPass, SheerID, GovX, SDVOSB certification, or DD-214). Available only to eligible vets, military, and often eligible family.

General discounts are open to anyone in a qualifying category — any startup (AWS Activate, Microsoft Founders Hub), any 501(c)(3) nonprofit (Notion, Slack, Adobe), or any small business. Included in this database because they are high-value for vet founders even though they are not exclusively for veterans.

How we verify

Every discount is checked against the vendor's public program page. Editorial notes reflect real experience or the pattern reported by vet founders in adjacent programs. Where we cannot independently verify a specific vendor claim (custom pricing, partner promos), we flag it as "pending verification" instead of claiming certainty.

Programs change. If you catch a stale discount or find one we missed, email hello@launchvets.com. Reader submissions drive most of the database updates.

Monday Deadlines

New discounts, expiring cloud credits, and program windows every Monday at 6am ET. Free.
