Use AWS Activate Credits

Make your AWS Activate credits actually work for your startup

If you’re part of the AWS Startup Activate program, you may have thousands (or tens of thousands) of dollars in AWS credits that expire. We help you consume those credits in ways that improve your product, security, reliability, and delivery velocity—by deploying proven, production-ready AWS solutions into your AWS account.

What you get:

 

✓ Practical builds (not slide decks)

✓ Deployed into your AWS environment

✓ Designed to accelerate your next stage of growth

​

​

What we do:

 

We deploy AWS solutions that:

  1. Create immediate value (visibility, resilience, faster releases, internal enablement)

  2. Use AWS services that consume credits naturally (compute, storage, data scanning, dashboards, model inference, etc.)

  3. Set you up with better foundations for investors, enterprise buyers, and scale​

Credit Initiatives we can deploy

Explore AI: GenAI Playground

What we deploy
A controlled GenAI sandbox aligned to AWS generative AI reference patterns
 

Pre-built use cases such as:

  • Chat assistant

  • RAG-based document Q&A

  • Summarisation tools

  • Content generation apps

  • Secure role-based access, usage monitoring, and optional integration with internal data sources (e.g., S3 knowledge base)


How this helps
Rapid experimentation with real business use cases (summarisation, translation, meeting notes, RAG, image/video generation)
Builds internal AI capability and governance early—without disrupting production
 

How it consumes credits
Bedrock model inference (LLMs/embeddings/multimodal)
Optional SageMaker fine-tuning + endpoints
S3 storage for datasets/embeddings/artefacts
Lambda + API Gateway orchestration
Vector storage (e.g., OpenSearch), CloudWatch monitoring
(Ongoing usage drives ongoing credit consumption.)

How it works

​

Step 1 — Credits & architecture quick review

  • We confirm your Activate credits window, your current AWS footprint, and the fastest “value per credit” initiatives.
     

Step 2 — Deploy into your AWS account

  • We build and deploy using AWS best practices (IaC where appropriate), with security and access controls.

​

Step 3 — Enable your team

  • Handover, runbooks, dashboards, and a short enablement session so you get ongoing value (and credits keep being used in a controlled way).

​

Step 4 — Ongoing support

FAQs

 

Do you need access to our production account?
Not necessarily. We can deploy into a separate dev/sandbox account or implement a multi-account approach depending on your maturity.

​

Will this blow out our bill after credits expire?
We design for useful consumption, and we’ll show you what ongoing costs look like before we deploy.

 

Can we start small?
Yes—many teams start with Visibility (QuickSight) or a Private Knowledge Base (RAG), then expand into resilience or CI/CD.
