View value, conditions, and sourceDECISION CHECKLIST
AWS founder credits and Portfolio credits use different qualification routes. Founders is aimed at self-funded teams; Portfolio requires an AWS Activate Provider and Organization ID.
Decide whether you qualify directly through Activate Founders or need an accelerator, angel, or VC that is an AWS Activate Provider.
Compare the recorded $1,000-to-$5,000 Founders route with the larger provider-backed Portfolio ceiling instead of assuming one universal amount.
Confirm eligible AWS services, support credits, activation timing, expiry, and the billing account that will receive the benefit.
This directory includes 8 recorded offers: AWS Generative AI; AWS; AWS Trainium; and more. Open a listing to compare its benefit and access route.
Eligibility varies by listing. A free plan, startup program, open-source benefit, and partner discount may have different requirements. Check the specific offer for account, team, and partner conditions before applying.
No. The provider or program operator controls eligibility, approval, and availability. Each listing identifies its route type; member access includes the recorded source link and detailed conditions. Membership does not guarantee a benefit.
An AWS Activate Provider can make a startup eligible for the Portfolio route and supplies the Organization ID used during application. The separate Activate Founders route is intended for eligible self-funded startups and does not use the same provider-backed path.
For the Portfolio route, the Organization ID comes from an approved AWS Activate Provider such as an accelerator, angel, or VC. Startup Perk List records the requirement but does not issue Organization IDs.
