WICHITA, Kan., May 27, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Voltage announced today it has committed to providing lightning infrastructure and support to help startups and founders get their ideas and businesses off the ground. Funding, guidance, and support will be provided to all startup founders to assist and ensure they have reliable and high-quality infrastructure that helps them scale.

Each qualifying startup will receive up to $5,000 in credits over 12 months which will go towards lightning nodes, channel liquidity, and 5 hours of support monthly. The Voltage Startup Program equips high-potential, pre-seed entrepreneurs with the tools and information they need to achieve important milestones like obtaining financing or being accepted into a seed-stage accelerator program.

Each qualifying startup will receive the following benefits:
