AWS Activate provides AI startups with cloud credits to build and scale on AWS infrastructure, including access to high-performance GPU instances for AI/ML training and inference. The program offers tiered credit amounts: startups affiliated with recognized accelerators (Y Combinator, Techstars, 500 Startups, and others) can access up to $100,000 in credits, while self-funded startups can receive smaller allocations. Credits cover the full range of AWS services including EC2 P5 instances with NVIDIA H100 GPUs, G6e instances with RTX 4090 GPUs, Amazon SageMaker for ML model training, Amazon Bedrock for foundation model access, and AWS Trainium/Inferentia chips for cost-optimized AI workloads. The program also includes AWS technical support, architecture guidance, and access to the AWS startup ecosystem. Credits typically expire after 1-2 years. This is distinct from the AWS Cloud Credit for Research program (academic-focused) and the AWS Imagine Grant (nonprofit-focused), serving specifically the startup and early-stage company community through Series B.
