What you get

Everything you need to ship.

Drux API Credits

Up to $500 in credits — could be more depending on stage and fit. Use them across every endpoint: Chat, Consensus, Embeddings, Images, Audio, Docs, and Vizible.

Zero API Fees for 6 Months

No processing markup. You pay provider rate only for your first six months after approval.

Founder Office Hours

Two monthly calls with the Drux team — architecture, model selection, go-to-market.

50+ Models, One Key

GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Llama and more through a single OpenAI-compatible API. Switch models without touching your code.

Local currency reference

Investment Opportunity

We're actively looking to invest in early-stage AI-native startups in Africa. If you're raising a pre-seed or seed round and your product runs on Drux infrastructure, we want to hear from you. We write small checks and add more value than capital alone.

  • Pre-seed & seed stage focus
  • Africa-first, then broader emerging markets
  • AI-native products only
  • Operator involvement — not passive capital
