Eligibility
Can you get AWS credits without an accelerator or VC?
Without a backer, expect around $1,000 directly, more through perks and partners.
Yes. AWS Activate Founders is built for self-funded startups and doesn't need any investor.
On top of that, many business banks and startup tools include an AWS credit perk for their customers. Some partner routes can also help you reach a higher amount.
The key is a credible application: a working website, a business email and a clear description of what you're building.
Prices and credit amounts are estimates and may change. Check AWS for current terms.
