AWS Start-Up Challenge 2010 - Enter Before October 31st
If you are a startup what do you need? Low startup costs and cash in the bank to keep the dream alive. Through the pay-as-you-go cloud, Amazon has always offered low startup costs, now through their Start-up Challenge, Amazon also wants to give you cash. Well, Amazon wants to give some of you cash--it as a contest after all. And because it's a contest they won't take any stock, this isn't a ploy to steal your company. And it's not a torturous, time sucking, week long application process either, the on-line form seems pretty straightforward. All you need is a good business plan and to use AWS, which is a no-brainer. It's a good opportunity for bootstrapping startups to get some no strings attached funding & infrastructure.
For more information on the contest take a look at AWS Start-up Challenge 2010.
