AWS Activate for Startups

Amazon Web Services (AWS) provides startups with the low cost, easy to use infrastructure needed to scale and grow. The AWS Activate program provides startups with the resources they need to quickly get started on AWS – including credits, training, and support.

Some of the world’s hottest startups use AWS – including Airbnb, Lyft and Slack. Join them – and build your business on AWS today.

Founder Friendly Labs startups will receive up to $10,000 USD in AWS credits valid for 2 years. If a startup has previously received some credits, the startup can still apply to receive additional credits. For example, if a startup has previously received $1,000 USD in AWS credits, then the startup would receive $9,000 USD in AWS credits valid for 2 years as a member of Founder Friendly Labs.

Please note that AWS may make changes to the AWS Activate program in the future.

The cloud startup credits have been very impactful to my startup, they have significantly offset my R/D costs, and allowed me to get from idea to proof of concept in very short timeframe.
