Free programs, cloud credits, mentorship, and accelerators for founders.
Why I recommend it: Even without joining an accelerator, the founder playbooks and credits are worth claiming on day one.
Amazon's $30 million accelerator for pre-seed founders from underrepresented backgrounds, offering equity-free cash, AWS credits, hands-on technical architecture support, mentorship, and introductions to venture capital networks.
In plain terms: This program supports early-stage startups led by Black, women, Latino, and LGBTQIA+ founders. Eligible entrepreneurs can apply to receive cash funding, cloud credits, technical guidance, and mentorship to grow their businesses.
Why I recommend it: Equity-free money plus cloud credits is rare. Best fit if you already have a working prototype and a small amount of traction.
