Stripe Atlas Partner Perks audit result
Why this is in the vault
Founder ran the portal-walkthrough audit. Result is "nothing immediate to action" but the two valuable perks deserve a permanent reference so they're discoverable later when the relevant project surfaces (e.g., AWS for any future serverless infra spin-up, Google Ads for an SC v3 launch push).
What's available
| Perk | Value | Best use case for RDCO |
|---|---|---|
| AWS credits | $5,000 | Any future need for serverless compute, S3-backed storage, or anything in the AWS substrate. Current RDCO infra is Cloudflare-native (Pages + R2 + Workers), so this sits dormant unless we add an AWS-required dependency. |
| Google Ads credits | $500 | Worth pulling out for the SC v3 newsletter launch push (paid acquisition test) or for any future bet that needs SEM. Small enough that the operational cost of setting up Google Ads might exceed the credit value — only use if there's an active campaign that wants this anyway. |
What's NOT available
- Cloudflare $100k offer — confirmed NOT eligible for RDLC (Ray Data Co LLC) through Atlas. The well-known $100k Cloudflare credit deal does not flow through this Atlas marketplace at this time.
- Other perks (HubSpot, Vanta, Carta, Linear, Notion) — founder did not call these out as valuable. Either not present, not valuable for our current shape, or already covered by existing relationships.
When to revisit
- If RDCO needs anything in the AWS substrate (e.g., a managed service Cloudflare doesn't offer)
- If we run an SC v3 launch paid-acquisition test
- If Atlas updates the perks marketplace (worth a re-audit every 6 months — next: 2026-11-12)
