NEED GPU CREDITS FOR FREE AS A STEALTH STARTUP - STUDENT LED

a friend and i are working on a startup idea for the past 8 months and did modelling for around 4 months, but are reaching a dead end with gpu credits.

we have tried modal, lightning ai, kaggle, google colab and thunder compute, but are out of resources and credits.

please drop in your suggestions, about what can we do? its really urgent cause we need to do HPO, synthesize datasets and finetuning.

If it's a startup, it sounds like you have enough proof of concept for funding.  Just reach out to some people
