As part of the YC AI Student Starter Pack, we've received 25,000 USD in cloud and AI credits – an invaluable gift for our growth.

Heartfelt Thanks to Y Combinator
Y Combinator supports innovative student startups globally via the AI Student Starter Pack, offering over 20,000 USD in cloud credits (AWS, Azure) and 5,000 USD for models like GPT, Claude, and Grok. These resources let us scale without high upfront costs. Thank you, YC team – your support validates our mission for secure AI solutions!
How the Credits Boost Semantix
With these credits, we're optimizing our Semantix platform, a semantic search solution for sensitive data. It leverages client-server embedding architectures with end-to-end encryption and vector databases. The cloud resources help us build safer, faster software – crucial for GDPR/DSG-compliant development and pilots in regulated markets.
Why This Matters for Privacy-Preserving AI
Privacy-by-Design AI is key for industries with sensitive data – exactly Knovas' focus. These credits enable scalable, compliance-secure solutions, starting with Europe.
Our Next Steps
The credits power our initial pilot projects. Follow us on LinkedIn for updates on Knovas and Semantix!
