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. Acquired Wisdom Fund startups will receive up to $10,000 USD in free AWS credits.

Acquired Wisdom Fund 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 after raising funding from Acquired Wisdom Fund.
