No deadline — apply whenever you are ready.
Not a grant: Atlas is a paid incorporation service costing a one-time $500 (including government fees and the first year of registered agent services) plus $100 annually thereafter. The in-kind element is '$2,500 in Stripe product credits for your first year after incorporation' and access to 'over $50,000 in partner discounts' (discounts, not credits). amount_max records the Stripe credit only; the $50,000 figure is discount face value, not cash.
