SoloToken – Find AI compute and token subsidies

Helps solo founders and indie hackers discover and apply for local AI compute and token subsidies

Problem

A user reports that Beijing rolled out a "one-person company" policy this year whose perks literally include Token vouchers and compute vouchers, with some OPC communities giving qualifying founders 3 months of model/compute usage and a citywide cap around RMB 100k per company, while some parks offer even more. But for most indie developers these subsidies are scattered across government notices, park policies and community posts, and it is nearly impossible to know where to apply, whether you qualify, or how much you can get.

Solution

A subsidy aggregator plus eligibility self-check: catalog AI compute/token/cloud credits available to one-person companies, indie developers and small SaaS founders by city, park and community; run a short questionnaire to show which programs you may qualify for with a materials checklist and application links; send email/WeChat alerts when new subsidies appear.

Users

Solo founders, indie hackers, small SaaS teams and founders testing AI products on a budget

MVP

Catalog 20–30 publicly announced compute/token subsidy programs with city, eligibility, amount, application link and deadline; a 5-minute eligibility quiz that returns a matched list; subscription alerts for new subsidies; no application handling, just information and navigation.

Revenue

Free base information; paid tier for alerts and priority program breakdowns ($9–19/mo); affiliate/referral revenue from cloud and compute platforms; white-label pages for incubators and parks.

Why now

Cities are rushing out one-person company and AI startup support policies, yet the information is highly fragmented; indie developers are cost-sensitive about compute, and big players won't build this niche tool, making it ideal for a solo maintainer.
