Amazon Web Services (AWS) has announced a $230 million commitment to support generative AI startups worldwide. 

Aimed at accelerating the development and market introduction of innovative AI applications, Amazon will provide startups with essential resources and mentorship through the investment.

AWS, the cloud computing arm of Amazon.com, Inc., will provide early-stage AI startups with a mix of AWS credits, hands-on expertise, and education to enhance their AI and machine learning capabilities. 

This initiative includes funding for the second cohort of the AWS Generative AI Accelerator program, which supports up to 80 promising startups each year. 

Each selected startup will receive up to $1 million in AWS credits to access various AWS services, including advanced AI tools and high-performance chips like AWS Trainium and Inferentia2.

Matt Wood, Vice President of AI Products at AWS, commented on the importance of this initiative. “AWS has a long history of empowering startups to innovate and scale. With this new effort, we’re providing the necessary building blocks for these startups to create transformative AI applications that will revolutionize industries and everyday life,” Wood stated.

The AWS Generative AI Accelerator program is designed to boost innovation across different sectors, from healthcare and financial services to entertainment and climate change. 

Participants will benefit from a comprehensive 10-week program, including sessions on machine learning performance, optimization strategies, and market approaches. Mentorship from industry experts will also be received, along with access to NVIDIA’s resources through the NVIDIA Inception program.

Successful graduates of the program will have the opportunity to showcase their solutions to potential investors, customers, and partners at AWS re:Invent 2024 in Las Vegas. This exposure is expected to enhance their market presence and attract further investment.

Startups looking to join the program can apply until July 19, with the selection announcement scheduled for September 10. The program will commence on October 1 with in-person sessions at Amazon’s Seattle campus.

The initiative comes as competition is on a continuous increase, major cloud providers like Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud are vying to attract AI-driven enterprises by offering similar credits and support. Amazon’s commitment to AI startups also aligns with its cloud credits expansion which will include models from leading AI companies like Anthropic and Meta.

With a 17% revenue increase in the first quarter of the year, surpassing analyst expectations, AWS’s recent financial performance is highly a good one.
