Venture funding buys generous free tiers, fast product development and prices that do not have to cover costs yet. All of that is real while it lasts, and it is paid for by an expectation of a return: an acquisition, a listing, or a repricing.

36 providers are vc-backed, listed alphabetically. Mostly platform as a service, serverless and virtual private servers, of 7 categories in all. 19 records do not record this field, and cannot appear here either way.
