Startups and SMB
Start on AWS the right way, with a partner who has done it before.
Nairobi, Lagos, Cape Town, Dubai and Riyadh are producing funded startups at record pace, and most of them start on AWS. The difference between the ones that scale and the ones that get a surprise bill is a well-architected foundation, credits applied early, and someone to call when the platform wobbles at 2 a.m.
What we hear
The pressures startups and smb leaders describe to us.
- Credits unclaimed or expiring unused

Questions
Common questions
We already have AWS startup credits. Why do we need a partner?
Credits pay for usage, not for architecture. A short engagement makes sure the credits fund a platform that will not need rebuilding at your Series A, and we help you access further programs as you grow.

We will share the relevant reference architecture, the compliance map for your country, and whether an AWS program could help offset the cost.
