Ask HN: Where/How can I get AWS Portfolio credits of like $5k+?

4 points by max_ 2y ago ↗ HN

Hello,

We are about to launch the MVP of our product in about 2 weeks. However, we are not confident if we have enough AWS credits to sustain our first batch of users.

We were counting on the $5k in AWS Activate Portfolio Credits from YC's Start Up School. But it seems it has been cancelled.

Is this something any of you can help us with?

I can't vouch for this, and it seems like you have to sign up (and pay) but you could try https://www.joinsecret.com/aws-activate

You're likely eligible for Nvidia Inception which does offer a handsome amount of free credits for several providers, AWS included.

I started listing a few[1] and I'm not sure if you will be approved in 2 weeks, but the bet best is Startup School.

Edit: I haven't verified but you have mentioned it was cancelled. AWS credit is the most common offers from many around, I hope you find one.
