Convex is a backend application platform that empowers web developers to build fast, reliable, and dynamic apps without complex backend engineering or database administration. Its ease of use makes it a common tech among builders in our programs, and was used by five of our finalist projects in Build's v4 program.

Needless to say, we are excited to extend our partnership with Convex by introducing Convex’s startup program to builders joining Backdrop Build v5. All finalist builds using Convex will be eligible to join this exclusive program. Founders and their teams will gain access to additional free Convex resources, invitations to insightful talks and focused programming, a dedicated program Discord, and enhanced support from the Convex developer relations team.
