I love what they're doing in expanding the program and such, but the one problem that all "startup tiers" seem to have is that they only last one year.<p>Most startups are not profitable after just one year and paying cloud bills is a drag on growth.<p>A graduated drop-off would be better maybe 100% off for year one, then 75% year two, 50% year three, 25% year four, and full price year five. All subject to some sort of annual or total cap, of course.<p>That's a more realistic picture of what it takes to get off the ground.
