With nearly 20 years of experience gained from supporting hundreds of thousands of startups that have come before, we help founders prove that their world-changing ideas are possible, at any stage of growth or level of funding. This is why more startups, and over 80% of unicorns, build on AWS.

A day in the life
A typical day involves engaging with developers and the Chief Technology Officer (CTO) to discuss strategies for scaling the business. Conversations with founders are a key aspect, focusing on assisting them in achieving their business goals. The team collaborates internally during daily syncs, where ideas are shared, and discussions revolve around driving new opportunities and mutual learning. Additionally, in the EMEA region, there is an emphasis on dedicating a day each month to focus on individual wellbeing.
About the team
The startup organization at AWS comprises experts from across the global ecosystem, including former founders and CTOs, venture capitalists, angel investors, and mentors who upskill today's founders to navigate challenges and opportunities as they build their business.
