AWS Activate

Up to $100k in value

Must-have

What you get

Up to $100k in AWS credits, 2 years of AWS Business Support, technical office hours, and the full AWS Activate Console.

Who qualifies

Pre-Series B startups. Founders Tier ($1k credits) needs no investor; Portfolio Tier ($100k) requires affiliated VC, accelerator, or incubator.

Tip. If you have any active investor, accelerator, or VC tie, push for the $100k tier. Apply through that partner's referral link for fastest approval.

We don't take a referral fee or commission. Direct provider link, no aggregator markup.

Why this matters for fundraising founders

Cloud spend is the biggest non-payroll line for early-stage SaaS. Stacking the major provider startup credits buys you 12–24 months of runway on infra alone, often more than the seed-round dilution covers. The AWS Activate program is one of 6 cloud & infra perks Claude Fundraiser tracks for pre-seed through Series A founders. We update eligibility + ceiling values weekly so you don't apply for a tier you can't qualify for.
