How it works

Tell us about your company: where you're based, your funding stage, what you're building and roughly what you spend, or expect to spend, on the cloud. It takes about two minutes and no AWS account is needed yet.

We compare your answers against the AWS credit programs and partner offers available to companies like yours, and show what you may qualify for and which routes fit best. Estimates are "up to" amounts; AWS and its partners make the final decision.

If you'd like help claiming credits, we introduce you to a vetted partner that works with companies at your stage, in your region and with your kind of workload. That might be an accelerator, an AWS partner or a provider that can sponsor your application. You choose whether to go ahead, and you can read how we handle your information in our Privacy policy.

Your partner walks you through the application, tells you what AWS will ask for and helps you avoid the common reasons applications get rejected. If you're also planning a migration or a larger AWS project, they can tell you about funding for that too.

Once approved, the credits are applied to your AWS account and cover eligible usage until they run out or expire. The timing depends on the program, and your partner will tell you what to expect.

Nothing. The service is free for your company, and the credits you receive are the same as if you went direct.

Startups and companies of any stage: bootstrapped teams, funded startups, growing businesses moving to AWS, and nonprofits. We don't work with individuals or personal projects.

Do I need to already use AWS? No. Many companies check before they choose a cloud, or while planning a move from another provider.

I was already rejected by AWS Activate. Can you still help? Often, yes. Other programs and partner routes have different criteria.

Are you part of AWS? No. We're an independent service. See our Disclaimer.
