Amazon Web Services provides startups with low cost, easy to use infrastructure needed to scale and grow any size business. AWS Activate is a program with resources designed to help startups get started on AWS. Join some of the fastest-growing startups in the world and build your business using AWS.

• 1 year of AWS Business Support (up to $1,500)
  
• Opportunities to Qualify for Additional Credits*

*Opportunities to qualify for additional credits are conditional and not guaranteed. Qualifying startups will be notified of opportunities by the AWS Activate program team.

Instructions:

2. Use this Factory Berlin Organization ID* (case-sensitive): 0mHD8
3. Provide your AWS Account ID on the application. Promotional Credits will be added directly to this account, so please double check it - we cannot transfer credits in the future.

Things to note:

How do the Promotional Credits work?

AWS Promotional Credits expiration dates are based on your program start date or the date you received investment, regardless of when you actually submit the application, so please apply promptly. Companies may not be eligible for AWS Promotional Credits if they previously received a similar or greater amount of credit. Companies may be eligible to be "topped up" to a higher credit amount if they previously received a lower credit. For more information, please review the AWS Activate Terms & Conditions.

How is Promotional Credit applied to the bill?

Promotional Credit is applied to the AWS Account ID provided on the application. The AWS Promotional Credit will be applied to the cost of services incurred from the 1st of the month in which the credit was applied. Promotional Credit cannot be applied retroactively for previous months.

To see your credit balance, applicable services, and expiration date, please go to your Billing and Cost Management Console.

How long does it take to process AWS Activate applications?

Applications are processed in 7-10 days, once an application is received. Processing can take longer if the information provided in the application is not accurate or incomplete.
